%C The sequence has wild fluctuations - see the successive plots in the links. This is typical behavior for a particle whose movement is governed by an arc-sine law (cf. Feller, Chap. III). - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Nov 23 2013

%C Negative stretches: terms 941-1031 and 13197-1431205. - _Hans Havermann_, Nov 23 2013

%C After reaching a local maximum of 21957005755012 at term 24118371, the sequence again descends with the first negative of a third such stretch at term 32437583. - _Hans Havermann_, Nov 28 2013

%C All terms are multiples of 4, cf. A008586. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Nov 22 2013

%C See A232361 and A232359 for peak values and where they occur: max{a(A232359(n)-1), a(A232359(n)+1)} < a(A232359(n)) = A232361(n). - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Nov 24 2013
