Abstract

In this note we consider the sequence of rational numbers b_n = ∑_{k=1}^{n} 2^k∕k. We show that the power of 2 in the expansion of bn is unusually large, at least n + 1 − log2(n + 1), and that this bound is best possible. The sequence bn, n = 1,2,3,…, is related to the sequence A0031449 in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences.
