Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
Sets of n successive Stieltjes constants of the same sign occur only finitely many times, so for each n there exists a first and a last such set.
For the indices of the Stieltjes constants at which the first set of exactly n successive constants of the same sign begins, see A354878.
Sequence generated using the 10^6 Stieltjes constants computed by Krzysztof Maslanka.
FORMULA
a(n) = last occurrence n in A114524 after recounting index of A114524 on index of the first Stieltjes gamma in set.
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 0 because StieltjesGamma(0) is the last (and the first also) Stieltjes constant that is not part of a run of more than one consecutive Stieltjes constant of the same sign.
a(5) = 63 because the set of 5 successive constants StieltjesGamma(63) = -390972.687, StieltjesGamma(64) = -1303180.71, StieltjesGamma(65) = -2845076.55, StieltjesGamma(66) = -4540526.609 and StieltjesGamma(67) = -4341905.139 have the same sign (negative), and no upper-indexed Stieltjes constant begins a set of exactly 5 consecutive Stieltjes constants of the same sign.
