%N Values y for record minima of the positive distance d between the thirteenth power of a positive integer x and the square of an integer y such that d = x^13 - y^2 (x <> k^2 and y <> k^13).
%C Distance d is equal to 0 when x = k^2 and y = k^13.
%C For d values see A179798.
%C For x values see A179799.
%C Conjecture: For any positive number x >= A179799(n), the distance d between the 13th power of x and the square of any y (such that x <> k^2 and y <> k^13) can't be less than A179798(n).
