This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

Analogous solutions exist for the sum of two identical cubes z^2 = 2*r^3 (e.g., 864^2 = 2*72^3). Values of 'z' are the terms in A033430, values of 'r' are the terms in A001105.
First term whose square can be expressed in two ways is 77976; 77976^2 = 228^3 + 1824^3 = 1026^3 + 1710^3. - Jud McCranie
First term whose square can be expressed in three ways is 3343221000; 3343221000^2 = 279300^3 + 2234400^3 = 790020^3 + 2202480^3 = 1256850^3 + 2094750^3.
First term whose square can be expressed in four ways <= 42794271007595289; 42794271007595289^2 = 14385864402^3 + 122279847417^3 = 55172161278^3 + 118485773289^3 = 64117642953^3 + 116169722214^3 = 96704977369^3 + 97504192058^3.
First term whose square can be expressed in five ways <= 47155572445935012696000; 47155572445935012696000^2 = 94405759361550^3 + 1305070263601650^3 = 374224408544280^3 + 1294899176535720^3 = 727959282778000^3 + 1224915311765600^3 = 857010857812200^3 + 1168192425418200^3 = 1009237516560000^3 + 1061381454915600^3.
After a(1) = 3 this is always composite, because factorization of the polynomial a^3 + b^3 into irreducible components over Z is a^3 + b^3 = (b+a)*(b^2 - ab + b^2). They may be semiprimes, as with 671 = 11 * 61, and 1261 = 13 * 97. The numbers can be powers in various ways, as with 32 = 2^5, 81 = 3^4, 256 = 2^8, 784 = 2^4 * 7^2 , 1225 = 5^2 * 7^2, and 2187 = 3^7. - Jonathan Vos Post, Feb 05 2011
If n is a term then n*b^3 is also a term for any b, e.g., 3 is a term hence 3*2^3 = 24, 3*3^3 = 81 and also 3*4^3 = 192 are terms. Sequence of primitive terms may be of interest. - Zak Seidov, Dec 11 2013
First noncubefree primitive term is 168 = 21*2^3 (21 is not a term of the sequence). - Zak Seidov, Dec 16 2013
From XU Pingya, Apr 10 2021: (Start)
Every triple (a, b, c) (with a^2 = b^3 + c^3) can produce a nontrivial parametric solution (x, y, z) of the Diophantine equation x^2 + y^3 + z^3 = d^4.
For example, to (1183, 65, 104), there is such a solution (d^2 - (26968032*d)*t^3 + 1183*8232^3*t^6, (376*d)*t - 65*8232^2*t^4, (92*d)*t - 104*8232^2*t^4).
To (77976, 228, 1824), there is (d^2 - (272916*d)*t^3 + 77976*57^3*t^6, (52*d)*t - 228*57^2*t^4, (74*d)*t - 1824*57^2*t^4).
Or to (77976, 1026, 1719), there is (d^2 - (25992*d)*t^3 + 77976*19^3*t^6, (37*d)*t - 1026*19^2*t^4, (11*d)*t - 1710*19^2*t^4). (End)

Examples

			1183^2 = 65^3 + 104^3.
