COMMENT

By Wolstenholme's theorem, p divides a(p-1) for prime p > 3. - T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Sep 05 2002

Also p divides a( (p-1)/2 ) for prime p > 3. - Alexander Adamchuk (alex(AT)kolmogorov.com), Jun 07 2006

The rationals a(n)/A007407(n) converge to Zeta(2)= (Pi^2)/6 = 1.6449340668... (see the decimal expansion A013661).

For the rationals a(n)/A007407(n), n>=1, see the W. Lang link under A103345 (case k=2).

Numbers n such that a(n) is prime are listed in A111354[n] = {2,7,13,19,121,188,252,368,605,745,1085,1127,1406,...}. Primes in a(n) are listed in A123751[n] = {5,266681,40799043101,86364397717734821,...}. - Alexander Adamchuk (alex(AT)kolmogorov.com), Oct 11 2006

FORMULA

Sum[1/k^2, {k, 1, n}] = Sqrt[Sum[Sum[1/(i*j)^2, {i, 1, n}], {j, 1, n}]] - Alexander Adamchuk (alex(AT)kolmogorov.com), Oct 26 2004

G.f. for rationals a(n)/A007407(n), n>=1: polylog(2,x)/(1-x).
