Sánchez Garza and Treviño proved that the difference between any two consecutive elements is 1 or 2 and that the counting function up to x is x+x/log x + o(x/log x). - Enrique Treviño, Jan 30 2021

EXAMPLE

Least k>0 such that k! > k^3 is k=6.
For k=5: 5! = 120 < 125 = 5^3.
For k=6: 6! = 720 > 216 = 6^3.
So a(3) = 6.
