COMMENT

Recursive definition: a(1)=1, a(n) = least number m>a(n-1) such that the fractional part of e^m is greater than the

fractional part of e^k for all k, 1<=k<m.

The next such number must be greater than 100000.

Apparently a duplicate of A091560. [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jan 07 2009]

FORMULA

Recursion: a(1):=1, a(k):=min{ m>1 | fract(e^m) > fract(e^a(k-1))}, where fract(x) = x-floor(x).

EXAMPLE

a(2)=8, since fract(e^8)= 0.9579870417..., but fract(e^k)<=0.7182818... for 1<=k<=7;

thus fract(e^8)>fract(e^k) for 1<=k<8 and 8 is the minimal exponent > 1 with this property.
