A206443 Least n such that L(n)<-1 and L(n)>L(n-1), where L(k) means the least root of the polynomial p(k,x) defined at A206284, and a(1)=13. 2

%N Least n such that L(n)<-1 and L(n)>L(n-1), where L(k) means the least root of the polynomial p(k,x) defined at A206284, and a(1)=13.

%C A206074 gives an ordering {p(n,x)} of the polynomials with coefficients in {0,1}.

%C The least n for which p(n,x) has a root r less than -1 is 13, hence the choice of 13 as the initial term of A206443. (Specifically, p(13,x)=1+x^2+x^3, and r=-1.46557...) The next p(n,x) having a root less than -1 and >r is p(37,x)=1+x^2+x^5, with least root -1.1938...
