Shiraishi's solutions to a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = d^3 are a = 3n^2; b = 6n^2 - 3n + 1 or 6n^2 + 3n + 1; c = 9n^3 - 6n^2 + 3n - 1 or  9n^3 + 6n^2 + 3n, respectively, for n > 0; and d = c+1. See Smith and Mikami for a derivation.
Shiraishi's formulas show that the sequence is infinite. Hence the sequences A023042 (solutions to x^3 + y^3 + z^3 = w^3), A225908 (solutions to a^3 + b^3 = c^3 - d^3), A225909 (solutions to a^3 + b^3 = (c+1)^3 - c^3) and A226902 (numbers c in A225909) are also infinite.
Shiraishi's solution b = 6n^2 +/- 3n + 1 is the centered triangular numbers A005448 except 1.

			The first two terms are a(1) = 9 - 6 + 3 - 1 = 5 and a(2) = 9 + 6 + 3 = 18. Then Shiraishi's formulas give 3^3 + 4^3 + 5^3 = 6^3 and 3^3 + 10^3 + 18^3 = 19^3.

The numbers c in A225909.

The sequence is infinite, because A226903 is a parametrized infinite subsequence.

			(5+1)^3 - 5^3 = 3^3 + 4^3, so 5 is a member.
