%C Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 1.

%C We have verified this for all n = 2..10^6.

%C Qing-Hu Hou at Tianjin University extended the verification to 2*10^7. Then I used Hou's program to verify a(n) > 0 for n up to 10^9. - _Zhi-Wei Sun_, May 28 2019

%C Conjecture verified for n up to 10^10. - _Giovanni Resta_, May 28 2019
