Abstract

For $b > 1$ and αβ a string of two digits in base b, let $K_{1}$ be the subsum of the harmonic series with only those integers having exactly one occurrence of αβ. We obtain a theoretical representation of such $K_{1}$ series which, say for $b = 10$ , allows computing them all to thousands of digits. This is based on certain specific measures on the unit interval and the use of their Stieltjes transforms at negative integers. Integral identities of a combinatorial nature both explain the relation to the $K_{1}$ sums and lead to recurrence formulas for the measure moments allowing in the end the straightforward numerical implementation.

求谐波数列的 "恰好一个 42 "和类似子和

对于 b>1，αβ 是一个以 b 为底数的两位数字符串，让 K1 成为谐数列的子集，其中只包含那些αβ 恰好出现一次的整数。我们可以从理论上表示这样的 K1 数列，比如对于 b=10 的数列，可以将它们计算到数千位。这是基于单位区间上的某些特定度量，以及在负整数处使用它们的斯蒂尔杰斯变换。组合性质的积分等式既解释了与 K1 和的关系，又引出了度量矩的递推公式，最终可以直接用数字实现。
