a(14) > 1.129*10^12, if it exists. - Kevin P. Thompson, Nov 07 2021
a(14) exists. The numbers 428224593349304, 6134899525417045, 66627445592888887, 430010946591069243, and 2646693125139304345 all satisfy csc(k) > k and are larger than a(13). It is not yet proven whether these are a(14) - a(18) or if there are any other numbers in the sequence before or between them. - Wolfe Padawer, Apr 11 2023
EXAMPLE
csc(1) = 1.1884... so 1 is a term.
