The th
cabtaxi number is the smallest positive integer
that can be written in
distinct ways as a sum of two (not necessarily positive)
integer cubes, where
is a positive
integer and interchanging the two summands does not
give a new representation. The name comes from the taxicab
number, which is the smallest number representable in
ways as a sum of positive cubes. The first few are 1, 91, 728, 2741256, 6017193,
1412774811, 11302198488, 137513849003496, 424910390480793000, 933528127886302221000,
... (OEIS A047696), as listed below. For
, these minima were computed
by Bernstein (2001).

The ninth term was found by Duncan Moore (2005). Christian Boyer found the tenth term as an upper bound in 2006 (Boyer 2008), and Hollerbach (2008) subsequently reported verifying its minimality.
