[seqfan] Re: like A004080 but for 1/(2i) and more

[davidrabahy at comcast.net]

Of course you are correct; I’m not sure how I got myself confused.  A014537 is the sequence I was looking for.

 

Is the diagonalization 1,3,4550,… interesting enough for an OEIS entry?

4 - 1674

 

Unless I'm wrong it should be 4, not 5, for n=1 above,

and more generally, A4080(2n), for obvious reasons :

 

Clearly this idea could be generalized, i.e. where Hq(k) is the qth harmonic number sum_{i=1..k} 1/(qi).

 

which is the same as H(k)/q, whence your sequence should be A4080(qn).
