Comments

Conjecture 1: a(n) > 0 for all n > 1. In other words, any integer n > 1 can be written as the sum of two hexagonal numbers and two powers of 2.

Conjecture 2: Any integer n > 1 can be written as a*(2*a+1) + b*(2*b+1) + 2^c + 2^d with a,b,c,d nonnegative integers.

Conjecture 3: Each integer n > 1 can be written as a*(2*a-1) + b*(2*b+1) + 2^c + 2^d with a,b,c,d nonnegative integers.

All the three conjectures hold for n = 2..2*10^6. Note that either of them is stronger than the conjecture in A303233.

See also A303363, A303389 and A303401 for similar conjectures.

Example

a(2) = 1 with 2 = 0*(2*0-1) + 0*(2*0-1) + 2^0 + 2^0.
a(7) = 2 with 7 = 1*(2*1-1) + 1*(2*1-1) + 2^0 + 2^2 = 0*(2*0-1) + 1*(2*1-1) + 2^1 + 2^2.
