Abstract
For a positive rational , call a set of distinct positive integers an -partition of , if the sum of the is equal to and the sum of the reciprocals of the is equal to . Define to be the smallest positive integer such that for all an -partition of exists and, for a positive integer , define to be the smallest positive integer such that for all a -partition of exists where does not divide any of the . In this paper we determine for all , and find the set of all such that .
