%N Numbers k such that k^4 can be written as a sum of four positive 4th powers.

%C Sequence gives solutions k to the Diophantine equation A^4 + B^4 + C^4 + D^4 = k^4.

%C Is this sequence the same as A096739? - _David Wasserman_, Nov 16 2007

%C A138760 (numbers k such that k^4 is a sum of 4th powers of four nonzero integers whose sum is k) is a subsequence. - _Jonathan Sondow_, Apr 06 2008
