EXAMPLE

Let b(k) = 1 + 1/sqrt(2) + 1/sqrt(3) + ... + 1/sqrt(k):

.k.......1....2.....3.....4.....5.....6.....7

-------------------------------------------------

b(k)...1.00..1.71..2.28..2.78..3.23..3.64..4.01

For A019529 we have:

n=0: smallest k is a(0) = 1 since 1.00 > 0

n=1: smallest k is a(1) = 2 since 1.71 > 1

n=2: smallest k is a(2) = 3 since 2.28 > 2

n=3: smallest k is a(3) = 5 since 3.23 > 3

n=4: smallest k is a(4) = 7 since 4.01 > 4

For AA054040 we have:

n=1: smallest k is a(1) = 1 since 1.00 >= 1

n=2: smallest k is a(2) = 3 since 2.28 >= 2

n=3: smallest k is a(3) = 5 since 3.23 >= 3

n=4: smallest k is a(4) = 7 since 4.01 >= 4

MATHEMATICA

s = 0; k = 1; Do[ While[ s <= n, s = s + N[ 1/Sqrt[ k ], 24 ]; k++ ]; Print[ k - 1 ], {n, 1, 75} ]
