COMMENTS

The original definition was: Nearest integer to Sum[(10^n-i)/i,{i,1,10^n/2}]/(10^n/2), but this was simplified to the present definition by Jon Schoenfield, Aug 05 2008

LINKS

Jon Schoenfield, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000

FORMULA

a(n) = round(2 * (ln(m) + Gamma) + 1/m - ...) - 1 where m = 10^n / 2 and Gamma = 0.57721566490153286... (the Euler-Mascheroni constant A001620). - Jon Schoenfield, Aug 05 2008

EXAMPLE

a(1)=4 because round((9/1 + 8/2 + 7/3 + 6/4 + 5/5)/5) is 4.

a(2)=8 because round((99/1 + 98/2 +... +50/50))/50 is 8.

MAPLE

for i from 10 to 11 by 2 do s:=0; t:=0; for d from i/2 to i -1 do s:= s + (d / (i - d)); t:= t +1; end do; print(round((s / t))); end do;

CROSSREFS

Different from A004081, although the sequences have the same first few terms.
