COMMENTS
Starting from a(27410) = 316064952537 the sequence includes the 8th sign-changing zone predicted by C. Bays et al back in 2001. The sequence with the first 8 sign-changing zones contains 419467 terms (see a-file) with a(419467) = 330797040309 as its last term. - Sergei D. Shchebetov, Oct 16 2017

EXAMPLE
From Jon E. Schoenfield, Jul 24 2021: (Start)
a(n) is the n-th number m at which the prime race 4k-1 vs. 4k+1 is tied:
