%N a(n) is the smallest integer w such that the Diophantine equation x^2 + y^3 + z^5 = w^7 where GCD(x,y,z)=1 has exactly n positive integer solutions.

%e a(3) = 13 because 13^7 = 7783^2 + 91^3 + 17^5 = 5921^2 + 277^3 + 23^5 = 6484^2 + 58^3 + 29^5 and for no integer smaller than 13 we have 3 solutions.
