A003325: Numbers that are the sum of 2 positive cubes.

{ 2, 9, 16, 28, 35, 54, 65, 72, ... }
The positive cubes are not necessarily distinct (hence some terms are of the form
2 n 3
). Here it is necessary to specify "positive cubes" where it was not necessary with numbers that are the sum of 2 squares (since obviously
n 2 ∈ ℤ +
as long as
n   ≠   0
). With cubes we could very well have
37 = 4 3 + ( − 3) 3
, to give just one example. A conjecture that still stands is that this sequence and the sequence of numbers of the form
n 3 ± 3
have infinitely many terms in common, yet the only known example is
4 3 + 4 3 = 5 3 + 3 = 128
.
