One of the four successive approximations up to 13^n for 13-adic integer 3^(1/4).This is the 3 (mod 13) case (except for n = 0).

For n > 0, a(n) is the unique number k in [1, 13^n] and congruent to 3 mod 13 such that k^4 - 3 is divisible by 13^n.
For k not divisible by 13, k is a fourth power in 13-adic field if and only if k == 1, 3, 9 (mod 13). If k is a fourth power in 13-adic field, then k has exactly 4 fourth-power roots.
FORMULA
a(n) = A324077(n)*A286841(n) mod 13^n = A324084(n)*A286840(n) mod 13^n.
For n > 0, a(n) = 13^n - A324083(n).
a(n)^2 == A322086(n) (mod 13^n).
EXAMPLE
The unique number k in [1, 13^2] and congruent to 3 modulo 13 such that k^4 - 3 is divisible by 13^2 is k = 68, so a(2) = 68.
The unique number k in [1, 13^3] and congruent to 3 modulo 13 such that k^4 - 3 is divisible by 13^3 is k = 575, so a(3) = 575.
