COMMENTS

Alternating generalized harmonic number is H'(n,m)= Sum[ (-1)^(k+1)*1/k^m, {k,1,n} ]. Numerator of H'(p-1,2n) is divisible by p for all integer n>0 and prime p>2. Numerator of H'(p-1,2p) is divisible by p^2 for prime p>2.

FORMULA

a(n) = Numerator[ Sum[ (-1)^(k+1)*1/k^(2*Prime[n]), {k,1,Prime[n]-1} ] ] / Prime[n]^2 for n>1.

EXAMPLE

Prime[2] = 3.

a(2) = numerator[ 1 - 1/2^6 ] / 3^2 = 63/9 = 7.

Prime[3] = 5.

a(3) = numerator[ 1 - 1/2^10 + 1/3^10 - 1/4^10 ] / 5^2 = 61857887575/25 = 2474315503.
