A079403 Let G[t] be the set of numbers between 2^{t-1} and 2^t-1, inclusive. There is a unique number a[t] in G[t] so that the denominator of the a[t]-th partial sum of the double harmonic series is divisible by smaller 2-powers than its neighbors. 1

COMMENTS

The n-th partial sum of double harmonic series is defined to be sum_{1\le k<l\le n} 1/(kl).

FORMULA

a(n+1)-2*a(n) = (a(n+1) mod 2); a(n)=floor(c*2^n) where c= 1.718232...=3 /2 + sum(k>=2, (a(k+1)-2*a(k))/2^k ) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Jan 24 2003

EXAMPLE

a(3)=6 because sum_{1\le k<l\le 6} 1/(kl)= 203/90, 4 does not divide 90, while 4 divides the denominators of both sum_{1\le k<l\le 5} 1/(kl)=15/8 and sum_{1\le k<l\le 7} 1/(kl)=469/180

MAPLE

sequ := proc(T) local A, i, n, t, psum, innersum; psum := 0; innersum := 0; A := {}; for t to T-1 do for n from 2^t to 2^(t+1)-1 do innersum := innersum+2^T/(n-1) mod 2^(2*T); psum := psum+2^T*innersum/n mod 2^(2*T); if psum mod 2^(2*T-t+1)=0 then A := A union {n}; end if; od; od; RETURN(A); end:
