Abstract

Any integer is expressible as a sum of two squares and a cube, mixed signs being allowed. We study the analogous question for a square and two cubes, and obtain an affirmative answer in the range from –4,000,000 to 2,000,000. For two squares and a cube with everything positive, computations support the possibility that there are only finitely many exceptions. However, x 2 + y 2 + z 9 admits infinitely many positive exceptions.
