Comments

Empirically, there seem to be no intervals between consecutive squares containing more than two nonsquare perfect powers.

It is easy to see that two distinct powers between n^2 and (n+1)^2 are necessarily of the form x^p and y^q where p, q are distinct odd primes. Among the first 180 terms, only 4 are of type (p,q) = (3,7) and all others are of type (3,5). The first term with q = 11, if it exists, is > (1e6)^(11/2) = 1e33. - M. F. Hasler, Jan 18 2021

Examples

			a(1) = 5: 5^2 < 3^3 < 2^5 < 6^2,
a(2) = 11: 11^2 < 5^3 < 2^7 < 12^2,
a(3) = 46: 46^2 = 2116 < 3^7 = 2187 < 13^3 = 2197 < 47^2 = 2209.
a(4) = 2536: 2536^2 = 6431296 < 186^3 = 6434856 < 23^5 = 6436343 < 2537^2 = 6436369.
22 is not in the sequence because 2^9 and 8^3 (22^2 < 512 < 23^2) are not distinct.
Also, 181 is not listed since between 181^2 and 182^2 there is only 32^3 = 8^5.
