Comments

a(n) >= A006255(n), and a(n) = A006255(n) if and only if A066400(n) = 3.

Conjecture: a(n) < A072905(n) with finitely many nonsquare exceptions.

Example

For n = 3 the sequence is 3, 6, 8; so a(3) = 8;
for n = 4 the sequence is 4, 9, 16; so a(4) = 16;
for n = 5 the sequence is 5, 8, 10; so a(5) = 10.
