Egyptian fractions for few primes
We study solutions to the Egyptian fractions equation with the prime factors of the denominators constrained to lie in a fixed set of primes. We evaluate the effectiveness of the greedy algorithm in establishing bounds on such solutions. Additionally, we present improved algorithms for generating low-rank solutions and solutions restricted to specific prime sets. Computational results obtained using these algorithms are provided, alongside a discussion on their performance.
