cp's OEIS Frontend

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.

Comments

a(n) always exists, because any positive rational number can be written as a sum of three cubes of positive rational numbers (see Richmond reference).
Aside from a(96) = 7 and a(850) = 8, a(n) <= 6 for n <= 10^6. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Feb 10 2022

Examples

			a(5) = 3 with 3^6*5 = 2^6 + 5^3 + 12^3 + 12^3.
a(12) = 5 with 5^6*12 = 3^6 + 19^3 + 34^3 + 52^3.
a(22) = 2 with 2^6*22 = 1^6 + 4^3 + 7^3 + 10^3.
a(31) = 6 with 6^6*31 = 0^6 + 4^3 + 15^3 + 113^3.
a(96) = 7 with 7^6*96 = 0^6 + 2^3 + 38^3 + 224^3.
a(101) = 4 with 4^6*101 = 3^6 + 22^3 + 39^3 + 70^3.
a(850) = 8 with 8^6*850 = 5^6 + 508^3 + 442^3 + 175^3.
