A303363 Number of ways to write n as a*(a+1)/2 + b*(b+1)/2 + 2^c + 2^d, where a,b,c,d are nonnegative integers with a <= b, c <= d and 2|c. 33

%C Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 1.

%C This is stronger than the author's conjecture in A303233. I have verified a(n) > 0 for all n = 2..10^9.

%C In contrast, Corcker proved in 2008 that there are infinitely many positive integers not representable as the sum of two squares and at most two powers of 2.
