Example

(cos 2, cos 4, ...) = (-0.4, -0.6, 0.9, -0.1, -0.8, ...) approximately, so that the differences, in sign, are - + - - + - - + - - + +, with "+" in places 2,5,8,11,12, ... (A327138), "- +" starting in places 1,4,7,10,13,... (A327139), and "- - +" starting in places 3,6,9,22,25,... (A327140).

Mathematica

z = 500; f[x_] := f[x] = Cos[2 x]; t = Range[1, z];
Select[t, f[#] < f[# + 1] &]    (* A327138 *)
Select[t, f[#] > f[# + 1] < f[# + 2] &]  (* A327139 *)
Select[t, f[#] > f[# + 1] > f[# + 2] < f[# + 3] &]   (* A327140 *)
