COMMENTS

Equals A074989(n) if this is not zero, else 1+A055400(n-1), the distance to the nearest cube < n.

EXAMPLE

a(8)=7, because the two cubes below and above 8 are 1^3=1 and 3^3=27, and the distance to 1 is smaller, namely 8-1=7.

MAPLE

distNearstDiffCub := proc(n) local iscbr ; iroot(n, 3, 'iscbr') ; if iscbr then 1+A055400(n-1); else A074989(n) ; end if; end proc;
