SUMMARY
The sequence defined by the expression ∑_{n=1}^{∞} (log^{u-1}(n)/n) - u^{-1}log^{u}(n) is analyzed for various values of u. When u=1, the result corresponds to the Euler-Mascheroni constant. For other values of u, the sequence's behavior is less clear and requires further investigation, particularly through the limit lim_{x→∞} - (log x)^{u} + ∑_{n=1}^{x} (log n)^{u-1}/n and the integral ∫_{1}^{∞} (log^{u-1}(x)/x). The discussion emphasizes the need for clarity in the formulation of the sequence to derive meaningful conclusions.
