One of the four successive approximations up to 13^n for 13-adic integer 3^(1/4).This is the 11 (mod 13) case (except for n = 0).

For n > 0, a(n) is the unique number k in [1, 13^n] and congruent to 11 mod 13 such that k^4 - 3 is divisible by 13^n.
For k not divisible by 13, k is a fourth power in 13-adic field if and only if k == 1, 3, 9 (mod 13). If k is a fourth power in 13-adic field, then k has exactly 4 fourth-power roots.
FORMULA
a(n) = A324082(n)*A286841(n) mod 13^n = A324083(n)*A286840(n) mod 13^n.
For n > 0, a(n) = 13^n - A324077(n).
a(n)^2 == A322085(n) (mod 13^n).
EXAMPLE
The unique number k in [1, 13^2] and congruent to 11 modulo 13 such that k^4 - 3 is divisible by 13^2 is k = 141, so a(2) = 141.
The unique number k in [1, 13^3] and congruent to 11 modulo 13 such that k^4 - 3 is divisible by 13^3 is k = 986, so a(3) = 986.
PROG
(PARI) a(n) = lift(-sqrtn(3+O(13^n), 4) * sqrt(-1+O(13^n)))
