COMMENTS
Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 0.
We have verified a(n) > 0 for all n = 1..10^6.
See also A343387 for a similar conjecture.

EXAMPLE
a(1) = 1 with 1 = 1^2 + [1^2/4] + [1^4/6].
a(2) = 1 with 2 = 1^2 + [2^2/4] + [1^4/6].
a(14) = 1 with 14 = 1^2 + [1^2/4] + [3^4/6].
a(32) = 1 with 32 = 4^2 + [8^2/4] + [1^4/6].
a(35) = 1 with 35 = 4^2 + [5^2/4] + [3^4/6].
a(77) = 1 with 77 = 8^2 + [1^2/4] + [3^4/6].
a(840) = 1 with 840 = 28^2 + [15^2/4] + [1^4/6].
