A328920 let f(N) be the smallest index m such that from the m-th term on, the sequence {k^k mod N: k >= 0} enters into a cycle, then a(n) is the smallest number N such that f(N) = n, or 0 if no such n exists. 1

COMMENTS
By the formula for f(N) shown in A328914, a(n) = 0 if and only if n > 1 and n-1 is powerful (n-1 is in A001694). Note that if f(N) = n, where N = Product_{i=1..t} p_i^e_i, then f(p_i^e_i) <= n, and there exists some i such that f(p_i^e_i) = n.

FORMULA
a(0) = 1, a(1) = 2; for n > 1, let p be the smallest prime such that n-1 is divisible by p but not by p^2, then a(n) = p^n, or 0 if no such p exists.
EXAMPLE
By the formula shown in A328914, if f(N) = 7, then N must be divisible by either 2^7 = 128 or 3^7 = 729, so the smallest N is a(7) = 128.
PROG
(PARI) a(n) = if(n==0, 1, if(n==1, 2, my(v=factor(n-1)); for(i=1, omega(n-1), if(v[i, 2]==1, return(v[i, 1]^n))); return(0)))
