On Further Questions Regarding Unit Fractions

Key Points

The aim is to show that certain subsets of natural numbers can yield unit fractions that sum to one.
Demonstrated mathematical proofs involving subset sums of natural numbers.
Refined existing techniques from Croot and Bloom.
Explored questions regarding unit fractions proposed by Erdős and Graham.
Established that a subset A leads to a subcollection B such that the sum of its elements equals one.
Showed that if the sum of unit fractions exceeds a logarithmic threshold, a specific subset exists.

Abstract

Abstract We prove that a subset A 1, N with align* &₍ ₀1n (N) ^4/5 + o (1) align* contains a subset B such that align* &₍ ₁ 1n = 1. align* Our techniques refine those of Croot and of Bloom. Using our refinements, we additionally consider a number of questions regarding unit fractions due to Erdős and Graham.
