%e A370301 For n = 7, the graph with a cycle 1-2-...-7-1 and two additional vertices with edges 8-1, 8-2, 8-4, 8-9, and 9-6 contains induced cycles of lengths 3..7: 1-2-8-1, 2-3-4-8-2, 1-7-6-9-8-1 (for example), 1-7-6-5-4-8-1, and 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-1. No such graph with fewer vertices exists, so a(7) = 9.
