%N A133740 Primes which are the sum of four positive 4th powers.
%C A133740 Every positive integer is expressible as a sum of (at most) g(4) = 19 biquadratic numbers (Waring's problem). Davenport (1939) showed that G(4) = 16, meaning that all sufficiently large integers require only 16 biquadratic numbers.
