COMMENTS
Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n = 0,1,2,.... In other words, each nonnegative integer can be written as a^2 + 2*b^2 + (c^2+d^2)*(c^2+2*d^2) with a,b,c,d integers.
It seems that a(n) = 1 only for n = 0, 21, 71, 157, 175, 190, 316, 476, 526.
See also A352627, A352629 and A352632 for similar conjectures.
EXAMPLE
a(21) = 1 with 21 = 1^2 + 2*3^2 + 0^4 +2*1^4 + 3*0^2*1^2.
a(71) = 1 with 71 = 3^2 + 2*4^2 + 2^4 + 2*1^4 + 3*2^2*1^2.
a(157) = 1 with 157 = 2^2 + 2*6^2 + 3^4 + 2*0^4 + 3*3^2*0^2.
a(175) = 1 with 175 = 13^2 + 2*0^2 + 1^4 + 2*1^4 + 3*1^2*1^2.
a(190) = 1 with 190 = 0^2 + 2*0^2 + 1^4 + 2*3^4 + 3*1^2*3^2.
a(316) = 1 with 316 = 10^2 + 2*10^2 + 2^4 + 2*0^4 + 3*2^2*0^2.
a(476) = 1 with 476 = 5^2 + 2*15^2 + 1^4 + 2*0^4 + 3*1^2*0^2.
a(526) = 1 with 526 = 18^2 + 2*10^2 + 0^4 + 2*1^4 + 3*0^2*1^2.
