What formula does dos Reis provide analogous to the formulae for nonsquares A000037(n) = n + [1/2 + sqrt(n)] and noncubes A007412(n) = n + [(n + [n^{1/3}])^{1/3}]? The partial sum of nonbiquadratic numbers < n is (the sum of all natural numbers < n) - (the sum of 4th powers k^4 < n) = (n*(n-1)/2) - A000538(j < n^(1/4)) = (n*(n-1)/ 2) - (j*(1+j)*(1+2*j)*(-1+3*j+3*j^2)/30) for j < [n^(1/4)]. %D A140823 A.
