This is a companion sequence to A297448. The first two sign-changing zones were discovered by Bays and Hudson back in 1979. We discovered four additional zones starting from a(22794) = 186422420112. The full sequence with all 6 zones checked up to 5*10^14 contains 664175 terms (see a-file) with a(664175) = 6097827689926 as its last term.

This sequence was checked up to 10^15 and the 7th sign-changing zone starting from a(664176) = 27830993289634 and ending with a(850232)= 27876113171315 was found. - Andrey S. Shchebetov and Sergei D. Shchebetov, Jul 28 2018
