Comments

Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 11.

This has been verified for n up to 10^10.

See also A304081 for a similar conjecture.

Example

a(8) = 1 since 8 = 3 + 2^1 + 3^1 with 3 prime and 2^1 + 3^1 = 5 squarefree.
a(13) = 1 since 13 = 3 + 2^2 + 2*3^1 with 3 prime and 2^2 + 2*3^1 = 2*5 squarefree.
a(19) = 1 since 19 = 5 + 2^3 + 2*3^1 with 5 prime and 2^3 + 2*3^1 = 2*7 squarefree.
a(23) = 1 since 23 = 13 + 2^2 + 2*3^1 with 13 prime and 2^2 + 2*3 = 2*5 squarefree.

Mathematica

tab={}; Do[r=0; Do[If[SquareFreeQ[2^k+(1+Mod[n, 2])*3^m]&&PrimeQ[n-2^k-(1+Mod[n, 2])*3^m], r=r+1], {k, 1, Log[2, n]}, {m, 1, If[2^k==n, -1, Log[3, (n-2^k)/(1+Mod[n, 2])]]}]; tab=Append[tab, r], {n, 1, 90}]; Print[tab]
