a(n) is the smallest (prime) integer such that the sequence {p_1, p_2, ..., p_n = a(n)} consists entirely of primes, where p_i = floor(a(n)^(i/n)).

%e a(8) = 967 because the sequence {2, 5, 13, 31, 73, 173, 409, 967} consists entirely of primes, the i-th term in the sequence being floor(967^(i/8)) and 967 is the smallest integer with this property.
