Conjecture: (i) a(n) > 0 for all n = 0,1,2,..., and a(n) = 1 only for n = 0, 47, 61, 62, 112, 175, 448, 573, 714, 1073, 1175, 1839, 2167, 8043, 13844.

(ii) Any natural number can be written as 3*x^6 + y^4 + z^3 + w*(3w+1)/2, where x, y, z are nonnegative integers and w is an integer.

(iii) For every a = 3, 4, 5, 9, 12, any natural number can be written as a*x^5 + y^4 + z^3 + w*(3w+1)/2, where x, y, z are nonnegative integers and w is an integer. Also, any natural number can be written as x^5 + 2*y^4 + 2*z^3 + w*(3w+1)/2 (or 3*x^5 + 2*y^4 + z^3 + w*(3w+1)/2), where x, y, z are nonnegative integers and w is an integer.

We have verified that a(n) > 0 for n up to 2*10^6.

Example

a(47) = 1 since 47 = 1^7 + 2^4 + 2^3 + (-4)*(3*(-4)+1)/2.
a(61) = 1 since 61 = 1^7 + 1^4 + 2^3 + (-6)*(3*(-6)+1)/2.
a(62) = 1 since 62 = 0^7 + 0^4 + 3^3 + (-5)*(3*(-5)+1)/2.
a(112) = 1 since 112 = 1^7 + 3^4 + 2^3 + (-4)*(3*(-4)+1)/2.
a(175) = 1 since 175 = 1^7 + 3^4 + 1^3 + (-8)*(3*(-8)+1)/2.
a(448) = 1 since 448 = 2^7 + 4^4 + 4^3 + 0*(3*0+1)/2.
a(573) = 1 since 573 = 1^7 + 4^4 + 6^3 + 8*(3*8+1)/2.
a(714) = 1 since 714 = 2^7 + 4^4 + 0^3 + (-15)*(3*(-15)+1)/2.
a(1073) = 1 since 1073 = 0^7 + 2^4 + 10^3 + 6*(3*6+1)/2.
a(1175) = 1 since 1175 = 0^7 + 5^4 + 5^3 + (-17)*(3*(-17)+1)/2.
a(1839) = 1 since 1839 = 1^7 + 4^4 + 5^3 + 31*(3*31+1)/2.
a(2167) = 1 since 2167 = 1^7 + 5^4 + 11^3 + (-12)*(3*(-12)+1)/2.
a(8043) = 1 since 8043 = 1^7 + 2^4 + 20^3 + 4*(3*4+1)/2.
a(13844) = 1 since 13844 = 3^7 + 2^4 + 21^3 + (-40)*(3*(-40)+1)/2.
