A000236(n) is the maximum length of a run of consecutive residues modulo prime p, starting with 1, where no two adjacent elements belong to the same n-th power residue class (in other words, there is no n-th power residue modulo p in the sequence of ratios 1/2, 2/3, ..., (A000236(n)-1)/A000236(n)). a(n) equals the smallest p admitting a run of maximum length A000236(n).
EXAMPLE
a(2)=11 since A000236(2)=3 and 1/2=6, 2/3=8 are nonsquares modulo 11, and there is no smaller prime modulo which 1/2 and 2/3 are nonsquares.
