COMMENTS

The sequence was suggested by Leroy Quet on Pi day 2008, cf. A138324.

The next such number must be greater than 100000. [Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jan 06 2009]

EXAMPLE

a(3)=81, since fract((pi^81)=0.0037011283.., but fract(pi^k)>=0.0062766802... for 1<=k<=80; thus fract(pi^81)<fract(pi^k) for 1<=k<81. [Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jan 06 2009]

PROG

(PARI) default(realprecision, 10^4); print1(a=1); for(i=1, 100, f=frac(Pi^a); until( frac(Pi^a++)<f, ); print1(", "a))

CROSSREFS

Cf. A001203, A138324, A001672.
