COMMENTS

Originally defined as the first column of A027447, but now contains numerator in reduced form (cf. A329108). - Sean A. Irvine, Nov 04 2019

Numerators of the binomial transform of (-1)^n/(n+1)^3. The matrix a[i,j] below is the product of the binomial matrix and the matrix with general term binomial(i,j)(-1)^(i-j)/(i+1)^3. - Paul Barry, Aug 06 2004

From Alexander Adamchuk, Jan 02 2007 [edited by Jon E. Schoenfield, Mar 08 2015]: (Start)

Also a(n) is a numerator of S(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} H(k)/k, where H(k) is the k-th harmonic number, H(k) = Sum_{i=1..k} 1/i = A001008(k)/A002805(k).

S(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} H(k)/k = 1/2*(H(n)^2 + H(n,2)), where H(n,2) = Sum_{i=1..n} 1/i^2 = A007406(n)/A007407(n).

p divides a(p-1) and a(p-2) for prime p>3. a(n) is prime for n = {2, 7, 26, 31, 43, 53, 68, 80, 91, 123, 175, 236, 458, ...}. (End)

The n-fold repeated integral of (1/2)*log(x)^2 (all improper integrals with the lower limits of integration equal to 0) = x^n/n! * ( (1/2)*log(x)^2 - H(n)*log(x) + Sum_{k = 1..n} H(k)/k ). - Peter Bala, Feb 17 2022

FORMULA

Numerators of sequence a(1, n) in (a(i, j))^3 where a(i, j) = 1/i if j <= i, 0 if j > i.

Numerators of (Wolstenholme(n, 1)^2 + Wolstenholme(n, 2))/(2*n)= ((gamma+Psi(n+1))^2 + Pi^2/6 - Psi(1, n+1))/(2*n), where Wolstenholme(n, m) = Sum_{i=1..n} 1/i^m. - Vladeta Jovovic, Aug 09 2002

a(n) = numerator(Sum_{k=1..n} ((Sum_{i=1..k} 1/i)/k)). - Alexander Adamchuk, Jan 02 2007
