COMMENTS

for x real >0 lim n -> infinity abs(u(n)-n) = (x-1)/(1+(x-1)*ln(2))

Difference between denominator and numerator of the (n-1)-th alternating harmonic number Sum[(-1)^(k+1)*1/k,{k,1,n-1}] = A058313(n-1)/A058312(n-1). - Alexander Adamchuk (alex(AT)kolmogorov.com), Jul 22 2006

FORMULA

a(n)=A024168(n-1)/gcd(A024168(n-1), A024168(n)). - Michael Somos, Oct 29, 2002

a(n) = A058312(n-1) - A058313(n-1) for n>1; a(1)=1. a(n) = Denominator[Sum[(-1)^(k+1)*1/k,{k,1,n-1}]] - Numerator[Sum[(-1)^(k+1)*1/k,{k,1,n-1}]]. - Alexander Adamchuk (alex(AT)kolmogorov.com), Jul 22 2006

MATHEMATICA

Denominator[Table[Sum[(-1)^(k+1)*1/k, {k, 1, n-1}], {n, 1, 30}]]-Numerator[Table[Sum[(-1)^(k+1)*1/k, {k, 1, n-1}], {n, 1, 30}]] - Alexander Adamchuk (alex(AT)kolmogorov.com), Jul 22 2006

PROG

(PARI) u(n)=if(n<2, x, (n-1)^2/u(n-1)+1); a(n)=polcoeff(denominator(u(n)), 0, x)
