Levine-O'Sullivan Sequence


The Levine-O'Sullivan sequence is the sequence generated by the Levine-O'Sullivan greedy algorithm, beginning 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, ... (OEIS A014011). The reciprocal sum of this sequence is conjectured to bound the reciprocal sum of all A-sequences. However, this sequence is not itself an A-sequence.
