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

This has been verified for n <= 10^6. It seems that a(n) = 1 only for n = 1, 71, 78, 247, 542, 1258, 1907, 5225, 19798.

Conjecture 2: (i) If a is 1 or 3, then each n = 0,1,2,... can be written as a*x^8 + y^2 + (7*z^4 + w^2)/64 with x,y,z,w nonnegative integers.

(ii) If a is among 1,2,5, then each n = 0,1,2,... can be written as a*x^8 + y^2 + (11*z^4 + w^2)/60 with x,y,z,w nonnegative integers.

Conjecture 3: If (a,b, m) is among the triples (1,7,8), (1,11,12), (2,7,8), (3,11,12), (5,7,8), then each n = 0,1,2,... can be written as a*x^4 + y^2 + (b*z^6 + w^2)/m with x,y,z,w nonnegative integers.

Conjecture 4: (i) If F(x,y,z,w) is x^6 + y^2 + (5*z^4 + 3*w^2)/16 or 3x^6 + 2*y^2 + (11*z^4 + w^2)/60, then each n = 0,1,2,... can be written as F(x,y,z,w) with x,y,z,w nonnegative integers.

(ii) If (a,b,m) is among the triples (1,7,64), (1,11,12), (1,11,60), (2,1,25), (2,1,65), (2,11,4), (2,11,20), (2,11,60), (4,2,9), (4,7,64), (5,11,60), (6,1,10), then each n = 0,1,2,... can be written as a*x^6 + y^2 + (b*z^4 + w^2)/m with x,y,z,w nonnegative integers.

Example

a(1) = 1 with 1 = 0^4 + 0^2 + (7^2 + 11*16^0)/60.
a(16) = 2 with 16 = 0^4 + 0^2 + (28^2 + 11*16)/60 = 1^4 + 2^2 + (22^2 + 11*16)/60.
a(71) = 1 with 71 = 0^4 + 2^2 + (62^2 + 11*16)/60.
a(78) = 1 with 78 = 2^4 + 5^2 + (47^2 + 11*16^0)/60.
a(247) = 1 with 247 = 3^4 + 3^2 + (97^2 + 11*16^0)/60.
a(542) = 1 with 542 = 3^4 + 21^2 + (32^2 + 11*16)/60.
a(1258) = 1 with 1258 = 2^4 + 15^2 + (247^2 + 11*16^0)/60.
a(1907) = 1 with 1907 = 0^4 + 0^2 + (338^2 + 11*16)/60.
a(5225) = 1 with 5225 = 5^4 + 58^2 + (272^2 + 11*16)/60.
a(19798) = 1 with 19798 = 1^4 + 137^2 + (248^2 + 11*16)/60.
