A086758 a(n) is the smallest m such that the integer part of the first n powers of m^(1/n) are primes. 1

COMMENTS
All terms of this sequence must be primes because floor((a(n)^(1/n))^n) = a(n).
Floor[(a(8)^(1/8))^k] = floor[(1287/545)^k] for k=1..10 (see puzzle 227). If a(9) exists it must be greater than 22000000.

FORMULA
For[m=1, Union[Table[PrimeQ[Floor[Prime[m]^(k/n)]], {k, n}]]!={True}, m++ ]; Prime[m]
EXAMPLE
a(5)=631 because floor(631^(1/5)) = 3, floor(631^(2/5)) = 13, floor(631^(3/5)) = 47, floor[631^(4/5)) = 173 and floor(631^(5/5)) = 631 are primes and 631 is the smallest m with this property.
MATHEMATICA
Do[Print[For[m=1, Union[Table[PrimeQ[Floor[Prime[m]^(k/n)]], {k, n}]]!={True}, m++ ]; Prime[m]], {n, 8}]
