Comments

Conjecture 1: Let k be 4 or 5. Then each integer can be written as x^k + y^k - (z^3 + w^3) with x,y,z,w nonnegative integers.

Two examples for k = 5: -4 = 58^5 + 76^5 - (775^3 + 1397^3) and 14 = 40^5 + 67^5 - (125^3 + 1132^3).

Conjecture 2: Let k be among 4, 5, 6 and 7. Then any integer can be written as x^k + y^k - (z^2 + w^2) with x,y,z,w nonnegative integers.

Examples for k = 6, 7: 170 = 9^6 + 15^6 - (2114^2 + 2730^2) and 469 = 7^7 + 8^7 - (1001^2 + 1385^2).

Conjecture 3: For any integer k > 3, there are no nonnegative integers x,y,z,w such that x^k + y^k - (z^k + w^k) = 3.

Example

a(60) = 93 with 60 = 25^4 + 27^4 - (49^3 + 93^3).
a(527) = 527 with 527 = 29^4 + 110^4 - (91^3 + 527^3).
a(2198) = 1704 with 2198 = 85^4 + 304^4 - (1539^3 + 1704^3).
a(4843) = 1965 with 4843 = 142^4 + 338^4 - (1804^3 + 1965^3).
