Comments

a(n) is the greatest integer k for which log k < 1 + 1/2 + ... + 1/n.

a(n) is asymptotically equals to n*e^(gamma) for large values of n where 'gamma' is the Euler-Mascheroni constant(Cf. A001620). - Balarka Sen, Aug 19 2012

Example

log 2 < 1 < log 3, so a(1) = 2;
log 4 < 1 + 1 + 1/2 < log 5, so a(2) = 4;
log 6 < 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 < log 7, so a(3) = 6.
