COMMENTS
a(n) is the least positive integer k such that k can only contain 'n-1' in exactly 2 different bases B, where 1 < B <= k.
Apart from the first term, the same as A135300. - R. J. Mathar, Apr 29 2008
A058895(n)^3 + a(n)^3 + A033562(n)^3 = A185065(n)^3. - Vincenzo Librandi, Mar 13 2012
Numbers k such that for every nonnegative integer m, k^(3*m+1) + k^(3*m) is a cube. - Arkadiusz Wesolowski, Aug 10 2013

FORMULA
Partial sums of A003215, hex (or centered hexagonal) numbers: 3*n(n+1)+1. - Jonathan Vos Post, Mar 16 2006
G.f.: x^2*(7-2*x+x^2)/(1-x)^4. - Colin Barker, Feb 12 2012
4*a(m^2-2*m+2) = (m^2-m+1)^3 + (m^2-m-1)^3 + (m^2-3*m+3)^3 + (m^2-3*m+1)^3. - Bruno Berselli, Jun 23 2014
a(n) = Sum_{i=1..n-1} (i+1)^3 - i^3. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jul 23 2014
Sum_{n>=2} 1/a(n) = Sum_{n>=1} (zeta(3*n) - 1) = A339604. - Amiram Eldar, Nov 06 2020
Product_{n>=2} (1 + 1/a(n)) = 3*Pi*sech(sqrt(3)*Pi/2). - Amiram Eldar, Jan 20 2021
E.g.f.: 1 + exp(x)*(x^3 + 3*x^2 + x - 1). - Stefano Spezia, Jul 06 2021
EXAMPLE
For n=6; 215 written in bases 6 and 42 is 555, 55 and (555, 55) are exactly 2 different bases.
