a(n) has the same definition related to the table A286001 which is another version of the table A286000.
First differs from A288529 at a(11), which shares infinitely many terms.

For n = 8 we need a table with at least 8 rows, so a(8) = 8.
For n = 9 we need a table with at least 11 rows, so a(9) = 11.
For n = 10 we need a table with at least 13 rows, so a(10) = 13.
For n = 11 we need a table with at least 13 rows, so a(11) = 13.
