COMMENTS
Smallest prime p such that A254444(i) >= n, where i is the index of p in A000040.
For n > 1, a(n) is a term of A134307.
For n > 1, if A000040(i) is a term of the sequence, then A249275(i) < A000040(i).
For n > 1, smallest prime p such that T(n, i) < p, where i is the index of p in A000040 and T = A257833.
a(4) > 5*10^8 if it exists (see Fischer link).
EXAMPLE
For n = 3: p = 113 satisfies 68^(p-1) == 1 (mod p^3) and there is no smaller prime p such that p satisfies b^(p-1) == 1 (mod p^3) for some b with 1 < b < p, so a(3) = 113.
PROG
(PARI) a(n) = forprime(p=1, , for(b=2, p-1, if(Mod(b, p^n)^(p-1)==1, return(p))))
