FORMULA
a(n) = A061211(n)^(1/n), for n > 0.
EXAMPLE
a(3) = 27 because 27 is the largest number with 27^3 = 19683 and 1+9+6+8+3 = 27.
a(5) = 46 because 46 is the largest number with 46^5 = 205962976 and 2+0+5+9+6+2+9+7+6 = 46.
MATHEMATICA
meanDigit = 9/2; translate = 900; upperm[1] = translate;
upperm[n_] := Exp[-ProductLog[-1, -Log[10]/(meanDigit*n)]] + translate;
(* assuming that upper bound of m fits the implicit curve m = Log[10, m^n]*9/2 *)
a[0] = 1; a[n_] := (For[max = m = 0, m <= upperm[n], m++, If[m == Total[IntegerDigits[m^n]], max = m]]; max);
