Abstract
In this article, we establish an additive decomposition of the discrete zeta function (for , ), more precisely of the function , as a series whose general term is of the form , where are solutions of the Erdos--Straus conjecture under a personal conjecture (which I will refer to here as Mballa's Conjecture) that I formulated by parametrization in the article: arXiv:2502.20935. This connection thus builds a bridge between analysis and Egyptian fractions in general, and the Erdos--Straus conjecture in particular.
