Mean Value Theorems for Binary Egyptian Fractions

Number Theory 2011-08-02 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we establish two mean value theorems for the number of solutions of the Diophantine equation an=1x+1y\frac{a}{n}=\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}, in the case when aa is fixed and nn varies and in the case when both aa and nn vary.
