See A077057. %C A078358 The following sequences all have the same parity: A004737, A006590, A027052, A071028, A071797, A078358, A078446. - Jeremy Gardiner (jeremy.gardiner(AT)btinternet.com), Mar 16 2003 %C A078358 Infinite series 1/A078358(n) is divergent. Proof: Harmonic series 1/A000027(n) is divergent and can be distributed on two subseries 1/A002378(k+1) and 1/A078358(m). Becuase infinte subseries 1/A002378(k+1) is convergent to 1 that mean that Sum[1/A078358(n),{n,1,Infinity}] is divergent. [From Artur Jasinski (grafix(AT)csl.pl), Sep 28 2008] %D A078358 O.
