Guy, 2004: "Andrew Bremner has computed the rational rank of the elliptic curve x^3 + y^3 = Taxicab(n) as equal to 2, 4, 5, 4 for n = 2, 3, 4, 5, respectively."
Abhinav Kumar computed that a(1) = 0 (see the MathOverflow link for details). But Euler and Legendre scooped him (see the next comment).
Noam D. Elkies: "... the fact that x^3+y^3=2 has no [rational] solutions other than x=y=1 is attributed by Dickson to Euler himself: see Dickson's History of the Theory of Numbers (1920) Vol.II, Chapter XXI "Numbers the Sum of Two Rational Cubes", page 572. The reference (footnote 182) is "Algebra, 2, 170, Art. 247; French transl., 2, 1774, pp. 355-60; Opera Omnia, (1), I, 491". In the next page Dickson also refers to work of Legendre that includes this result (footnote 184: "Théorie des nombres, Paris, 1798, 409; ...")." See the MathOverflow link for further comments from Elkies.

If b is the sum of two positive cubes in exactly n ways, then b*c^3 is the sum of two positive cubes in at least n ways for all c > 0. So A011541(i)*c^3 is a candidate for unknown Taxi-cab numbers. a(6) = 79 is an interesting example that is related to this case. Additionally, the benefit of this simple fact is the determination of upper bounds for unknown Taxi-cab numbers in relatively easy way.
The inequalities that are given in the comment section of A011541 are:
So a(6) <= 101, a(7) <= 127, a(8) <= 139.

It is conjectured that this sequence and A052276 have infinitely many numbers in common, although only one example (128) is known. [Any further examples are greater than 5 million. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Apr 12 2020] [Any further example is greater than 10^12. - M. F. Hasler, Jan 10 2021]
(i) N and N+1 are both the sum of two positive cubes if N=2*(2*n^2 + 4*n + 1)*(4*n^4 + 16*n^3 + 23*n^2 + 14*n + 4), n=1,2,....
(ii) For n >= 2, let N = 16*n^6 - 12*n^4 + 6*n^2 - 2, so N+1 = 16*n^6 - 12*n^4 + 6*n^2 - 1.
Then the identities 16*n^6 - 12*n^4 + 6*n^2 - 2 = (2*n^2 - n - 1)^3 + (2*n^2 + n - 1)^3 16*n^6 - 12*n^4 + 6*n^2 - 1 = (2*n^2)^3 + (2*n^2 - 1)^3 show that N, N+1 are in the sequence. (End)
If n is a term then n*m^3 (m >= 2) is also a term, e.g., 2m^3, 9m^3, 28m^3, and 35m^3 are all terms of the sequence. "Primitive" terms (not of the form n*m^3 with n = some previous term of the sequence and m >= 2) are 2, 9, 28, 35, 65, 91, 126, etc. - Zak Seidov, Oct 12 2011
This is an infinite sequence in which the first term is prime but thereafter all terms are composite. - Ant King, May 09 2013
By Fermat's Last Theorem (the special case for exponent 3, proved by Euler, is sufficient), this sequence contains no cubes. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Apr 03 2021

From Wikipedia: "1729 is known as the Hardy-Ramanujan number after a famous anecdote of the British mathematician G. H. Hardy regarding a hospital visit to the Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. In Hardy's words: 'I remember once going to see him when he was ill at Putney. I had ridden in taxi cab number 1729 and remarked that the number seemed to me rather a dull one, and that I hoped it was not an unfavorable omen. "No," he replied, "it is a very interesting number; it is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways."'"
A011541 gives another version of "taxicab numbers".
If n is in this sequence, then n*k^3 is also in this sequence for all k > 0. So this sequence is obviously infinite. - Altug Alkan, May 09 2016

First differences: A161415, where there is an explicit formula for the n-th term.

With the positive terms written as an irregular triangle in which the row lengths are the terms of A011782 the sequence begins:
1;
9;
21, 49;
61, 97, 133, 225;
237, 273, 309, 417, 453, 561, 669, 961;
...
This triangle T(n,k) shares with the triangle A256530 the terms of the column k, if k is a power of 2, for example both triangles share the following terms: 1, 9, 21, 49, 61, 97, 225, 237, 273, 417, 961, etc.
.

a(n) = n-th positive integer k(>1) such that 2^(k-1) == 1 (mod k), 3^(k-1) == 1 (mod k) and 5^(k-1) == 1 (mod k)
See A153580 for numbers k > 1 such that 2^k-2, 3^k-3 and 5^k-5 are all divisible by k but k is not a Carmichael number (A002997).
