Table of n, a(n) for n=1..50.

Example

a(1) = 4 because the next perfect power is 8 = 2^3, i.e., its exponent is > 2.
a(2) = 9: the exponents of the neighbors 8 = 2^3 and 16 = 2^4 are both > 2.
16 is not in the sequence because both neighboring perfect powers 9 = 3^2 and 25 = 5^2 have exponents 2.
Neighbors with exponents > 2 of the next terms: a(3) = 25 (16 = 2^3), a(4) = 27 (32 = 2^5), a(5) = 32 (27 = 3^3), a(6) = 36 (32 = 2^5), a(7) = 49 (64 = 2^6), a(8) = 64 (81 = 3^4).
