COMMENTS
Where numbers m such that 4^m - 3^m is not squarefree: numbers of the form i*a(j) for i >= 1.
The smallest squares of 4^m - 3^m as defined above are 25, 49, 121, 169, 1369, 529, 361, 5041. - Robert Price, Mar 07 2017
431 <= a(9) <= 1081. 1081, 3403 are terms. - Chai Wah Wu, Jul 20 2020
EXAMPLE
4 is in this sequence because all 4^1 - 3^1 = 1, 4^2 - 3^2 = 7 are squarefrees where 1, 2 are proper divisors of 4 and 4^4 - 3^4 = 175 = 7*5^2 is not squarefree;
14 is in this sequence because all 4^1 = 3^2 = 1, 4^2 - 3^2 = 7, 4^7 - 3^7 = 14197 are squarefrees where 1, 2, 7 are proper divisors of 14 and 4^14 - 3^14 = 263652487 = 7^2*3591*14197 is not squarefree.
