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} ].
a(n) contains all geometric progressions of the form (p-1)*p^k for k>0 and some primes p>3. Note the factorization of initial terms of a(n) = {4*5, 6*7, 4*5^2, 10*11, 12*13, 16*17, 6*7^2, 18*19, 4*5^3, 22*23, 28*29, 30*31, 10*11^2, 36*37, 40*41, 42*43, 12*13^2, 6*7^3, 46*47, 4*5^4, 52*53, 58*59, 60*61, 66*67, 16*17^2, 70*71, 72*73, 78*79, 18*19^2, 82*83, ...}. The smallest term that does not fit this pattern is 11026 = (149-1)/2 * 149.
Similar sequences for generalized harmonic numbers with different k: A125581 (k=1), A128673 (k=3), A128674 (k=4), A128675 (k=5); A128676 (k=6),
For the least numbers k>0 such that k^n does not divide the denominator of H(k,n) nor the denominator of H'(k,n), see A128670. See also A128671(n) = A128670(Prime(n)).
