A094106 a(n) = maximal length L of a "power floor prime" sequence, i.e. a sequence of the form [x^k], k=1,2,..,L consisting of primes only, where [x] is the n-th prime number. +0

EXAMPLE

a(1)=8 because for x=111/47 the sequence [x^k],k=1,2,... 2,5,13,31,73,173,409,967,.. starts with 8 primes and this is the maximum for any x with [x]=2. (Compare also A063636, though the rational number x= 1287/545 used there is not of minimal height!)
