Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A084838
Smallest integers that satisfy sum(n>0, mu( a(n) )/a(n))=0 by requiring that the absolute value of the successive partial sums are monotonically decreasing in magnitude, where a(1)=1 and a(n+1)>a(n) for n>0.

COMMENTS
Since sum(n>0,mu(n)/n)=0, this sequence gives the subset of smallest integers that satisfy this sum.
