%N Denominators of the coefficients of Euler-Ramanujan's harmonic number expansion into negative powers of a triangular number.

%C Previous name was: Coefficients in Ramanujan's Euler-MacLaurin asymptotic expansion.

%C Explicitly, H_k = Sum_{i=1..k} 1/i = log(2*m)/2 + gamma + Sum_{n>=1} R_n/m^n, where m = k(k+1)/2 is the k-th triangular number. This sequence lists the denominators of R_n (numerators are listed in A238813). A few starting numerical terms were given by Euler and Ramanujan; the form of the general term and the behavior of the series were determined by Villarino. - _Stanislav Sykora_, Mar 05 2014
