%N A080059 Greedy powers of (1/zeta(3)): sum_{n=1..inf} (1/zeta(3))^a(n) = 1, where
1/zeta(3) = .83190737258070746868...
%C A080059 The n-th greedy power of x, when 0.5 < x < 1, is the smallest integer
exponent a(n) that does not cause the power series sum_{k=1..n} x^a(k)
to exceed unity. A heuristic argument suggests that the limit of
a(n)/n is m - sum_{n=m..inf} log(1 + x^n)/log(x) = 14.874449248373...,
where x=(1/zeta(3)) and m=floor(log(1-x)/log(x))=9.
%F A080059 a(n)=sum_{k=1..n}floor(g_k) where g_1=1, g_{n+1}=log_x(x^frac(g_n) -
x) (n>0) at x=(1/zeta(3)) and frac(y) = y - floor(y). See A077468
for mathematica program by Robert G. Wilson v.
%e A080059 a(3)=26 since (1/zeta(3)) +(1/zeta(3))^10 +(1/zeta(3))^26 < 1 and (1/
zeta(3)) +(1/zeta(3))^10 +(1/zeta(3))^k > 1 for 10<k<26.
