Parametric Algorithms for the 5-Modular Analog of ES (Sierpi\'nski): Structure of Solutions, Parameterization, and Constructive Proofs (SERP)
Abstract
We consider the problem of representing the fraction as a sum of three distinct unit fractions with and . The case of primes is analyzed, where two constructive types of solutions arise: ED1 (exactly one denominator divisible by , namely ) and ED2 (exactly two denominators divisible by , namely and ). Parametric constructions and enumeration algorithms are developed, including explicit transitions between ED1 and ED2. A deterministic algorithm is proposed, based on the intersection of a parametric lattice defined by pairs with bounded boxes. For each fixed prime the algorithm constructively produces a solution. Using analytic methods such as the Bombieri--Vinogradov theorem and the Chebotarev density theorem, it is shown that the density of admissible parameters is high, which yields polylogarithmic search complexity in the average case. A strict complexity guarantee for all primes remains conditional and depends on the finite covering hypothesis. This study extends previous work for coefficient (the Erd\H{o}s--Straus conjecture) to coefficient , transferring the same structure of parametrization and constructive solutions. Analytic applications provide averaging tools used for density estimates in parametric boxes.
