COMMENTS

Denominator = A111936;

a(n)/A111936(n) ---> C with C<80.

The sum of the harmonic series after having removed all terms containing in decimal representation a 9 in decimal system converges and the sum is < 80. Hence the sum of the harmonic series in which at least one digit is missing ( from 0 to 9) converges and the sum is less than 810.

EXAMPLE

n=9: 1/1+1/2+1/3+1/4+1/5+1/6+1/7+1/8+1/10 = 789/280, therefore a(9) = 789.
