A376942 Irregular table read by rows: row(n) is the lexicographically earliest sequence of positive integers a(n,1), a(n,2), ... a(n,k) such that Sum_{m = n..(n+k-1)} 1/(m*a(n,m-n+1)) <= 1.

Comments

The terms in each row can grow rapidly in size, e.g., the 63rd and final term in row(25), 36333...86400, has 1728101 digits.

Conjecture: all rows have finite length.

Examples

			row(1) = 1 as 1/(1*1) = 1.
row(2) = 1, 1, 2, 5, 100 as 1/(2*1) + 1/(3*1) + 1/(4*2) + 1/(5*5) + 1/(6*100) = 1.
row(3) = 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 53, 4947, 66072132 as 1/(3*1) + 1/(4*1) + 1/(5*1) + 1/(6*1) + 1/(7*3) + 1/(8*53) + 1/(9*4947) + 1/(10*66072132) = 1.
