Generalized harmonic numbers are defined as H(m,k) = Sum_{j=1..m} 1/j^k. Alternating generalized harmonic numbers are defined as H'(m,k) = Sum_{j=1..m} (-1)^(j+1)/j^k.
Sequence contains all terms of geometric progressions 37^k*(37-1)/3, 37^k*(37-1)/2, 37^k*(37-1)*2/3, 37^k*(37-1) for k > 0. Note the factorization of initial terms of {a(n)} = {37*12, 37*18, 37*24, 37*36, ...}. See more details in Comments at A128672 and A125581.
