FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{i=0..4} [A002828(n+i) = i]. (Here [ ] is the Iverson bracket, giving as its result 1 only if A002828(n+i) is i, otherwise zero.)
EXAMPLE
a(0) = 4 as 0 - A002828(0) = 0, 1 - A002828(1) = 0, 2 - A002828(2) = 0 and 3 - A002828(3) = 0. (But 4 - A002828(4) = 3.) Note that 0 is the only number which is its own child as 0 - A002828(0) = 0.

Numbers n for which there exists at least one such integer k that k - A002828(k) = n, in other words, numbers n such that either A002828(1+n) is 1 or A002828(2+n) is 2 or A002828(3+n) is 3 or A002828(4+n) is 4, as the maximum value that A002828 may obtain is 4.
Indexing starts from zero, because a(0)=0 is a special case in this sequence.
