COMMENTS

"Erdos conjectured in 1975 that there do not exist three consecutive powerful integers." - Guy
1825200 belongs to the sequence because 1825200=2.2.2.2.3.3.3.5.5.13.13, 1825201=7.7.193.193=1351^2 and both are powerful numbers. - Labos Elemer, May 03 2001.
See Guy for Erdos' conjecture and statement that this sequence is infinite. - Jud McCranie , Oct 13 2002
It is easy to see that this sequence is infinite: if n is in the sequence, so is 4*n*(n+1). [From Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Sep 16 2009]
The first of a run of three consecutive powerful numbers (conjectured to be empty) are just those in this sequence and A076445. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Nov 16 2012
Jaroslaw Wroblewski (see primepuzzles link) shows that there are infinitely many terms in this sequence such that neither a(n) nor a(n+1) is a square. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Nov 19 2012
