Numerator of Sum_{k=0..n-1} 1/((k+1)(2k+1)) (denominator is A111876). - Paul Barry, Aug 19 2005
Numerator of the sum of all matrix elements of n X n Hilbert matrix M(i,j) = 1/(i+j-1) (i,j = 1..n). - Alexander Adamchuk, Apr 11 2006
Numerator of the 2n-th alternating harmonic number H'(2n) = Sum ((-1)^(k+1)/k, k=1..2n). H'(2n) = H(2n) - H(n), where H(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} 1/k is the n-th Harmonic Number. - Alexander Adamchuk, Apr 11 2006
a(n) almost always equals A117731(n) = numerator(n*Sum_{k=1..n} 1/(n+k)) = numerator(Sum_{j=1..n} Sum_{i=1..n} 1/(i+j-1)) but differs for n = 14, 53, 98, 105, 111, 114, 119, 164. - Alexander Adamchuk, Jul 16 2006
Sum_{k=1..n} 1/(n+k) = n!^2 *Sum_{j=1..n} (-1)^(j+1) /((n+j)!(n-j)!j). - Leroy Quet, May 20 2007
Seems to be the denominator of the harmonic mean of the first n hexagonal numbers. - Colin Barker, Nov 19 2014
Numerator of 2*n*binomial(2*n,n)*Sum_{k = 0..n-1} (-1)^k* binomial(n-1,k)/(n+k+1)^2. Cf. A049281. - Peter Bala, Feb 21 2017
2*Sum_{k = 1..n} 1/(n+k) = 1 + 1/(1*2)*(n-1)/(n+1) - 1/(2*3)*(n-1)*(n-2)/((n+1)*(n+2)) + 1/(3*4)*(n-1)*(n-2)*(n-3)/((n+1)*(n+2)*(n+3)) - 1/(4*5)*(n-1)*(n-2)*(n-3)*(n-4)/((n+1)*(n+2)*(n+3)*(n+4)) + - .... Cf. A101028.
2*Sum_{k = 1..n} 1/(n+k) = n - (1 + 1/2^2)*n*(n-1)/(n+1) + (1/2^2 + 1/3^2)*n*(n-1)*(n-2)/((n+1)*(n+2)) - (1/3^2 + 1/4^2)*n*(n-1)*(n-2)*(n-3)/((n+1)*(n+2)*(n+3)) + (1/4^2 + 1/5^2)*n*(n-1)*(n-2)*(n-3)*(n-4)/((n+1)*(n+2)*(n+3)*(n+4)) - + .... Cf. A007406 and A120778.
These identities allow us to extend the definition of Sum_{k = 1..n} 1/(n+k) to non-integral values of n. (End)

FORMULA
|
limit_{n -> oo} Sum_{k=1..n} 1/(n+k) = log(2).
a(n) = numerator(Sum_{k=1..2*n} 1/k) - Sum_{k=1..n} 1/k). - Alexander Adamchuk, Apr 11 2006
a(n) = numerator(Sum_{j=1..n} (Sum_{i=1..n} 1/(i+j-1))). - Alexander Adamchuk, Apr 11 2006
The o.g.f for Sum_{k=1..n} 1/(n+k) is f(x) = (sqrt(x)*log((1+sqrt(x))/(1-sqrt(x))) + log(1-x))/(2*x*(1-x)).

EXAMPLE
|
H'(2n) = H(2n) - H(n) = {1/2, 7/12, 37/60, 533/840, 1627/2520, 18107/27720, 237371/360360, 95549/144144, 1632341/2450448, 155685007/232792560, ...}, where H(n) = A001008/A002805.
n=2: HilbertMatrix(n,n)
1 1/2
1/2 1/3
so a(2) = Numerator(1 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/3) = Numerator(7/3) = 7.
The n X n Hilbert matrix begins:
1 1/2 1/3 1/4 1/5 1/6 1/7 1/8 ...
1/2 1/3 1/4 1/5 1/6 1/7 1/8 1/9 ...
1/3 1/4 1/5 1/6 1/7 1/8 1/9 1/10 ...
1/4 1/5 1/6 1/7 1/8 1/9 1/10 1/11 ...
1/5 1/6 1/7 1/8 1/9 1/10 1/11 1/12 ...
1/6 1/7 1/8 1/9 1/10 1/11 1/12 1/13 ...
