COMMENTS
A Gram block [ g(m), g(m+k) ) is a half-open interval where g(m) and g(m+k) are "good" Gram points and g(m+1), ..., g(m+k-1) "bad" Gram points. A Gram point is "good" if (-1)^n Z(g(n)) > 0 and "bad" otherwise; see A114856.
Lehman showed that this sequence is infinite and conjectured (correctly) that a(1) > 10^7. Brent (1979) found a(1)-a(15). Brent, van de Lune, te Riele, & Winter extended this to a(104). Gourdon extended the calculation through a(320624341).
Trudgian showed that this sequence is of positive (lower) density.
Note: There is a typo in 7.3 of the Trudgian link showing 13999825, rather than 13999525, as the value for a(1). - Charles R Greathouse IV, Jan 27 2022
