FORMULA

a(n) =ceiling[1/sqrt(2)-Sum_i{i<n}1/a(i)]

EXAMPLE

a(3)=68575 since sqrt(1/2)=0.707106781186..., 1/2+1/5+1/141+1/68574=0.707106781368... (which is too much) and 1/2+1/5+1/141+1/68575=0.707106781155... (which is not too much).

MATHEMATICA

a = {}; k = N[1/Sqrt[2], 1000]; Do[s = Ceiling[1/k]; AppendTo[a, s]; k = k - 1/s, {n, 1, 10}]; a [From Artur Jasinski (grafix(AT)csl.pl), Sep 22 2008]
