COMMENTS

For n>0 G(n)=(-1)^(n+1)*int(1/[(ln^2(x)+Pi^2)*(x+1)^n],x=0..infinity). G(1)=1/2 for n>1 G(n)=(-1)^(n+1)/(n+1)-sum((-1)^k*G(n-k)/(k+1),k=1..n-1). Euler constant is given by : gamma=sum((-1)^(n+1)*G(n)/n,n=1..infinity) [From Groux Roland (roland.groux(AT)orange.fr), Jan 14 2009]

FORMULA

G.f.: 1/log(1+x).

G(0)=0, G(n)=Sum_{i=1..n} (-1)^(i+1)*G(n-i)/(i+1)+(-1)^(n+1)*n/((2*(n+1)*(n+2)).

a(n)=A002206(n)/A002207=1/n! sum_{j=1}^{n+1} bernoulli(j)/j S_1(n, j-1), where S_1(n, k) is the Stirling number of the first kind. - Barbara Margolius (b.margolius(AT)csuohio.edu), 1/21/02
