COMMENTS

Is a(n+1) - a(n) bounded?

For n < 10^7, the maximum value of a(n+1) - a(n) is 12. - T. D. Noe, May 14 2007

The first differences appear to be periodic with period 245589; this should lead to a proof that the first differences are bounded. If the pattern holds through a(189103530) then it is proved; it suffices to work mod 2310. [Charles R Greathouse IV, Dec 19 2011]
