Daniel Forgues, Table of n, a(n) for n=1..10000

FORMULA

a(n) = {m^k}_n * (-1)^{Pi(m) - Pi(m-1)}

where {m^k}_n is the n-th perfect power with positive integer base m corresponding to largest integer exponent k and Pi(m) is the prime counting function evaluated at m.

a(n) = {A001597(n)} * (-1)^{Pi(m) - Pi(m-1)}, with m = {A001597(n)}^{1/{A025479(n)}}.
