Comments

Differs from A054088 at indices 56, 71, 112, 127, 142, 168, 183 etc. - R. J. Mathar, Oct 05 2008

Let r = gamma (the Euler constant, 0.5772...). When {k*r, k >= 1} is jointly ranked with the positive integers, A059555(n) is the position of n and A059556(n) is the position of n*r. - Clark Kimberling, Oct 21 2014
