Comments

F_n-H_n approaches a constant, 'kappa', conjectured to be equivalent to the difference of B_3-gamma, where B_3 is Mertens' 3rd constant and gamma is Euler's constant.

Formula

a(n) = numerator[sum(k=1 to n)mu^2(k)/phi(k)] where mu(k) is the Mobius function and phi(k) is Euler's Totient function.

Example

Numerators of F_n, e.g., F_1 = (1/1), F_2 = (1/1 + 1/1), ... F_11 = (1/1 + 1/1 + 1/2 + 0 + 1/4 + 1/2 + 1/6 + 0 + 0 + 1/4 + 1/10).
