Comments

Conjecture: a(n) exists for any nonnegative integer n.

This implies that each nonnegative rational number can be written as 7*w^2 + x^4 + y^4 + z^4 with w,x,y,z rational numbers.

Examples

			a(6) = 2 with 6 = 1^4 + (1^4 + 2^4 + 7*3^2)/2^4.
a(19) = 6 with 19 = 0^4 + (1^4 + 4^4 + 7*59^2)/6^4.
a(22) = 10 with 22 = 2^4 + (2^4 + 13^4 + 7*67^2)/10^4.
a(5797) = 20 with 5797 = 0^4 + (81^4 + 164^4 + 7*4797^2)/20^4.
