COMMENT

If n is in the sequence and k is an odd positive integer then n^k is in the sequence because n^k is of the form 4^i(8j+7). - Farideh Firoozbakht (mymontain(AT)yahoo.com), Nov 23 2006

Numbers whose cubes do not have a partition as a sum of 3 squares. a(n)^3=A134738(n) - Artur Jasinski (grafix(AT)csl.pl), Nov 07 2007
