COMMENT

The presumption that the fraction is positive for n>1 underlies the presumed solution to Waring's problem.

FORMULA

a(n) = 4^n*(1+floor[(3/2)^n])-3^n-6^n = A005061(n)-A002380(n)*A000079(n) = A000302(n)*(1+A002379(n))-A000244(n)-A000400(n).

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 13 since 1-(3/4)^3-frac[(3/2)^3)] = 1-27/64-frac[27/8] = 1-27/64-3/8 = (64-27-24)/64 = 13/64.
