%N Categorical sequence for the Lie group Sp(k) for any k > 2.

%C The categorical sequence for a CW complex X is the sequence whose n-th term is the smallest m for which the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of the m-skeleton is equal to n (or else infinity if there is no such m).

%C All categorical sequences begin with a_0 = 0. It can be shown that for all categorical sequences, a_{k+l} >= a_k + a_l.
