cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

LCM of denominators of the coefficients of x^n*z^k in {-log(1-x)/x}^z as k=0..n, as described by triangle A075264.
Denominators of integer-valued polynomials on prime numbers (with degree n): 1/a(n) is a generator of the ideal formed by the leading coefficients of integer-valued polynomials on prime numbers with degree less than or equal to n.
Also the least common multiple of the orders of all finite subgroups of GL_n(Q) [Minkowski]. Schur's notation for the sequence is M_n = a(n+1). - Martin Lorenz (lorenz(AT)math.temple.edu), May 18 2005
This sequence also occurs in algebraic topology where it gives the denominators of the Laurent polynomials forming a regular basis for K*K, the hopf algebroid of stable cooperations for complex K-theory. Several different equivalent formulas for the terms of the sequence occur in the literature. An early reference is K. Johnson, Illinois J. Math. 28(1), 1984, pp.57-63 where it occurs in lines 1-5, page 58. A summary of some of the other formulas is given in the appendix to K. Johnson, Jour. of K-theory 2(1), 2008, 123-145. - Keith Johnson (johnson(AT)mscs.dal.ca), Nov 03 2008
a(n) is divisible by n!, by Legendre's formula for the highest power of a prime that divides n!. Also, a(n) is divisible by (n+1)! if and only if n+1 is not prime. - Jonathan Sondow, Jul 23 2009
Triangle A163940 is related to the divergent series 1^m*1! - 2^m*2! + 3^m*3! - 4^m*4! + ... for m =>-1. The left hand columns of this triangle can be generated with the MC polynomials, see A163972. The Minkowski numbers appear in the denominators of these polynomials. - Johannes W. Meijer, Oct 16 2009
Unsigned Stirling numbers of the first kind as [s + k, k] (Karamata's notation) where k = {0, 1, 2, ...} and s is in general complex results in Pochhammer[s,k]*(integer coefficient polynomial of (k-1) degree in s) / M[k], where M[k] is the least common multiple of the orders of all finite groups of n x n-matrices over rational numbers (Minkowiski's theorem) which is sequence A053657. - Lorenz H. Menke, Jr., Feb 02 2010
From Peter Bala, Feb 21 2011: (Start)
Given a subset S of the integers Z, Bhargava has shown how to associate with S a generalized factorial function, denoted n!_S, which shares many properties of the classical factorial function n!.
The present sequence is the generalized factorial function n!S associated with the set of primes S = {2,3,5,7,...}. The associated generalized exponential function E(x) = Sum{n>=1} x^(n-1)/a(n) vanishes at x = -2: i.e. Sum_{n>=1} (-2)^n/a(n) = 0.
For the table of associated generalized binomial coefficients n!_S/(k!_S*(n-k)!_S) see A186430.
This sequence is related to the Bernoulli polynomials in two ways [Chabert and Cahen]:
(1) a(n) = (n-1)!*A001898(n-1).
(2) (t/(exp(t)-1))^x = sum {n = 0..inf} P(n,x)*t^n/a(n+1),
where the P(n,x) are primitive polynomials in the ring Z[x].
If p_1,...,p_n are any n primes then the product of their pairwise differences Product_{i
(End)
LCM of denominators of the coefficients of S(m+n-1,m) as polynomial in m of degree 2*(n-1), as described by triangle A202339. - Vladimir Shevelev, Dec 17 2011
Sometimes called "Minkowski numbers" (e.g., by Guralnick and Lorenz), after the German mathematician Hermann Minkowski (1864-1909). - Amiram Eldar, Aug 24 2024

Examples

			a(7)=24^3*Product_{i=1..3} A202318(i)=24^3*1*10*21=2903040. - _Vladimir Shevelev_, Dec 17 2011

These coefficients (with alternating signs) are also known as the Nørlund [or Norlund, Noerlund or Nörlund] numbers. [After the Danish mathematician Niels Erik Nørlund (1885-1981). - Amiram Eldar, Jun 17 2021]
The denominators are found in A002790. The alternating rational sequence ((-1)^n)*a(n)/A002790(n)is the z-sequence for the Stirling2 triangle A008277(n+1,k+1), n>=k>=0. This is the Sheffer (exp(x),exp(x)-1) triangle. See the W. Lang link under A006232 for Sheffer a- and z-sequences with references, and the conversion to S. Roman's notation. The a-sequence is A006232(n)/A006233(n). - Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 06 2011 [This is the Sheffer triangle A007318*A048993. Added Jun 20 2017]
