Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A111103
a(1) = 1; for n > 1: a(n) = smallest cube > a(n-1) such that a(n) - a(n-1) = m*p for some m and a prime p that is not smaller than the primes used previously; in case there is more than one p take the largest.

EXAMPLE
8 = 1+7; 27 = 8+19; 64 = 27+37; 125 = 64+61; 343 = 125+2*109; 729 = 343+2*193.
216 = 6^3 is not in the sequence, since 216-125 = 91 = 7*13 and 13 is smaller than the previously used prime 37.
