Denominators in binomial transform of 1/(n+1)^2 - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Aug 06 2004

Construct a sequence S_n from n sequences b_1, b_2, ..., b_n of periods 1, 2, ..., n, respectively, say, b_1=[1,1,...], b_2=[1,2,1,2,...], ..., b_n=[1,2,3,...,n,1,2,3,...,n,...], by taking S_n=[b_1(1),b_2(1),...,b_n(1),b_1(2),b_2(2),...,b_n(2),...,b_1(n),b_2(n),...,b_n(n),...] (by listing the b_i sequences in rows and taking each column in turn as the next n terms of S_n). Then a(n) is the period of sequence S_n. - Rick L. Shepherd (rshepherd2(AT)hotmail.com), Aug 21 2006

Also equal to A003418(n) * n. - Martin Fuller (martin_n_fuller(AT)btinternet.com), Jan 03 2006

(DERIVE) a(n) := (n + 1)*LCM(VECTOR(k + 1, k, 0, n))

(PARI) l=vector(35); l[1]=1; print1("1, "); for(n=2, 35, l[n]=lcm(l[n-1], n); print1(n*l[n], ", ")) - Rick L. Shepherd (rshepherd2(AT)hotmail.com), Aug 21 2006
