COMMENTS
a(n) = A070923(n) if n is not cube. Zak Seidov, Mar 26 2013
See A229618 for the range of this sequence. A179386 gives the range of b(n) = min{ a(m); m >= n }. The indices of jumps in this sequence are given in A179388 = { n | a(m)>a(n) for all m > n } = { 0, 5, 11, 181, 207, 225, 500, 524, 1586, ... }. - M. F. Hasler, Sep 26 2013

FORMULA
a(n) << n^(4/3). - Charles R Greathouse IV, Mar 26 2013
EXAMPLE
a(11) = 4 because 11^2 + k is never a cube for k < 4, but 11^2 + 4 = 5^3. - Bruno Berselli, Jan 29 2013

(PARI) a(n)=(sqrtnint(n^2, 3)+1)^3-n^2 \\ Charles R Greathouse IV, Mar 26 2013
(PARI) A181138(n)=(n^(2/3)\(1-.1^precision(1.))+1)^3-n^2 \\ In the current stable version 2.5.5, the function sqrtnint is not yet introduced, it exists only in development versions from PARI V.2.6 on. Unfortunately, in the standard precision, floor(125^(2/3))=24. - M. F. Hasler, Sep 26 2013
