COMMENT

Conjecture: in the "extremal" expansion x_i = A000058(i) for i=1..n-3.

FORMULA

Let 1 = 1/x_1 + ... + 1/x_{n-1} + p/q, where 1/x_1>=...>=1/x_{n-1}>=p/q and (p, q)=1. a(n) = maximal p over all such expansions. Corresponded denominators sequence is A091458.

EXAMPLE

a(7) = 9770455 because 1 = 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/7 + 1/43 + 1/5413 + 1/5419 + 9770455/52975482882, and there is no expansion with larger numerator of the remainder.
