COMMENTS

Generalized harmonic numbers are defined as H(n,k) = Sum[ 1/i^k, {i,1,n} ]. Alternating generalized harmonic numbers are defined as H'(n,k) = Sum[ (-1)^(i+1)*1/i^k, {i,1,n} ].

Some apparent periodicity in a(n) (not without exclusions): a(n) = 20 for n = 2 + 4m, a(n) = 42 for n = 4 + 12m and 8 + 12m, a(n) = 76 for n = 9 + 18m, a(n) = 77 for n = 1 + 10m, a(n) = 104 for n = 7 + 12m, a(n) = 110 for n = 12m, a(n) = 136 for n = 25 + 32m, etc.

See more details in comments for A128672 and A125581.
