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 geometric progressions of the form (p-1)*p^k for k > 0 and some primes p > 3. Note the factorization of initial terms of {a(n)} = {4*5, 6*7, 4*5^2, 10*11, 12*13, 16*17, 6*7^2, 18*19, 4*5^3, 22*23, 28*29, 30*31, 10*11^2, 36*37, 40*41, 42*43, 12*13^2, 6*7^3, 46*47, 4*5^4, 52*53, 58*59, 60*61, 66*67, 16*17^2, 70*71, 72*73, 78*79, 18*19^2, 82*83, ...}. The smallest term that does not fit this pattern is 11026 = ((149-1)/2) * 149.

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.

Note that {a(n)} contains the following geometric progressions: ((16843-1)/3)*16843^m found by Max Alekseyev, ((16843-1)/2)*16843^m found by Max Alekseyev, ((16843-1)*2/3)*16843^m, (16843-1)*16843^m, 20826*21647^m found by Max Alekseyev, ((2124679-1)/3)*2124679^m, ((2124679-1)/2)*2124679^m, ((2124679-1)*2/3)*2124679^m, (2124679-1)*2124679^m. Here {16843, 2124679} = A088164 are the only two currently known Wolstenholme Primes: primes p such that {2p-1} choose {p-1} == 1 mod p^4. See more details in Comments at A128672 and A125581.

a(n) gives the partial sums, Zeta(7,n), of Euler's Zeta(7). Zeta(k,n) is also called H(k,n) because for k=1 these are the harmonic numbers H(n) A001008/A002805.

For the denominators see A103348 and for the rationals Zeta(7,n) see the W. Lang link under A103345.

Numerators of the binomial transform of (-1)^n/(n+1)^3. The matrix a[i,j] below is the product of the binomial matrix and the matrix with general term binomial(i,j)(-1)^(i-j)/(i+1)^3. - Paul Barry, Aug 06 2004

Also a(n) is a numerator of S(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} H(k)/k, where H(k) is the k-th harmonic number, H(k) = Sum_{i=1..k} 1/i = A001008(k)/A002805(k).

S(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} H(k)/k = 1/2*(H(n)^2 + H(n,2)), where H(n,2) = Sum_{i=1..n} 1/i^2 = A007406(n)/A007407(n).

p divides a(p-1) and a(p-2) for prime p>3. a(n) is prime for n = {2, 7, 26, 31, 43, 53, 68, 80, 91, 123, 175, 236, 458, ...}. (End)

The n-fold repeated integral of (1/2)*log(x)^2 (all improper integrals with the lower limits of integration equal to 0) = x^n/n! * ( (1/2)*log(x)^2 - H(n)*log(x) + Sum_{k = 1..n} H(k)/k ). - Peter Bala, Feb 17 2022

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.
