A Wolstenholme-like theorem: for prime p > 3, if p = 6k-1, then p divides a(4k-1), otherwise if p = 6k+1, then p divides a(4k). - T. D. Noe, Apr 01 2004
For the limit n -> infinity of the partial sums of the alternating harmonic series see A002162. - Wolfdieter Lang, Sep 08 2015

FORMULA

G.f. for A058313(n)/ A058312(n): log(1+x)/(1-x). - Benoit Cloitre, Jun 15 2003
a(n) = (n*a(n-1) + (-1)^(n+1)*A058312(n-1))/gcd(n*a(n-1) + (-1)^(n+1)*A058312(n-1), n*A058312(n-1)). - Robert Israel, Jul 06 2015
From Peter Luschny, May 03 2016: (Start)
Let H(n) denote the harmonic numbers, AH(n) denote the alternating harmonic numbers, Psi the polygamma function and euler(n,x) the Euler polynomials. Then:
AH(n) = H(n) - H((n - n mod 2)/2).
AH(z) = log(2)+(1/2)*cos(Pi*z)*(Psi(z/2+1/2)-Psi(z/2+1)).
AH(z) ~ log(2)+(1/2)*cos(Pi*z)*(-1/z+1/(2*z^2)-1/(4*z^4)+1/(2*z^6)-...).
AH(z) ~ log(2)-(1/2)*cos(Pi*z)*Sum_{n>=0} euler(n,0)/z^(n+1). (End)
