%N Number of ordered ways to write n as x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + w^3 with x + y + z a square, where x,y,z are integers with x >= |y| <= |z|, and w is a nonnegative integer.

%C Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n = 0,1,2,..., and a(n) = 1 only for n = 0, 5, 12, 20, 23, 31, 47, 71, 103, 148, 164.

%C The author proved in arXiv:1604.06723 that any natural number can be written as x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + w^2 with x + y + z a square, where x,y,z,w are integers.

%C See also A275297, A275298, A275299 and A272620 for similar conjectures.

%e a(0) = 1 since 0 = 0^2 + 0^2 + 0^2 + 0^3 with 0 + 0 + 0 = 0^2 and 0 = 0 = 0.

%e a(5) = 1 since 5 = 2^2 + 0^2 + (-1)^2 + 0^3 with 2 + 0 + (-1) = 1^2 and 2 > 0 < |-1|.

%e a(12) = 1 since 12 = 3^2 + (-1)^2 + (-1)^2 + 1^3 with 3 + (-1) + (-1) = 1^2 and 3 > |-1| = |-1|.

%e a(20) = 1 since 20 = 3^2 + 1^2 + (-3)^2 + 1^3 with 3 + 1 + (-3) = 1^2 and 3 > 1 < |-3|.

%e a(23) = 1 since 23 = 3^2 + (-2)^2 + 3^2 + 1^3 with 3 + (-2) + 3 = 2^2 and 3 > |-2| < 3.

%e a(31) = 1 since 31 = 5^2 + 1^2 + (-2)^2 + 1^3 with 5 + 1 + (-2) = 2^2 and 5 > 1 < |-2|.

%e a(47) = 1 since 47 = 6^2 + 1^2 + (-3)^2 + 1^3 with 6 + 1 + (-3) = 2^2 and 6 > 1 < |-3|.

%e a(71) = 1 since 71 = 6^2 + 3^2 + (-5)^2 + 1^3 with 6 + 3 + (-5) = 2^2 and 6 > 3 < |-5|.

%e a(103) = 1 since 103 = 7^2 + 2^2 + 7^2 + 1^3 with 7 + 2 + 7 = 4^2 and 7 > 2 < 7.
