Comments

Perfect powers (A001597) are numbers with a proper integer root, the complement of A007916.

Is this sequence finite?

The Redmond-Sun conjecture (see A308658) implies that this sequence is finite. - Pontus von Brömssen, Nov 05 2024

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..10.

Formula

a(n) = A000720(A116086(n)) = A000720(A116455(n)) for n <= 10. This would hold for all n if there do not exist more than two perfect powers between any two consecutive primes, which is implied by the Redmond-Sun conjecture. - Pontus von Brömssen, Nov 05 2024

Example

Primes 9 and 10 are 23 and 29, and the interval (24,25,26,27,28) contains two perfect powers (25,27), so 9 is in the sequence.
