COMMENT

For a given n, the Mathematica program uses backtracking to count the solutions. The solutions can be printed by uncommenting the print statement. It is very time-consuming for large n. A092671 gives the n that yield a(n) > 0. - T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Mar 26 2004

FORMULA

a(n)=A092670(n)-A092670(n-1)

EXAMPLE

a(6)=1 since there is the only fraction 1=1/2+1/3+1/6.

MATHEMATICA

n=20; try2[lev_, s_] := Module[{nmim, nmax, si, i}, AppendTo[soln, 0]; If[lev==1, nmin=2, nmin=1+soln[[ -2]]]; nmax=n-1; Do[If[i<n/2 || !PrimeQ[i], si=s+1/i; If[si==1, soln[[ -1]]=i; (*Print[soln]; *) cnt++ ]; If[si<1, soln[[ -1]]=i; try2[lev+1, si]]], {i, nmin, nmax}]; soln=Drop[soln, -1]]; soln={n}; cnt=0; try2[1, 1/n]; cnt (from T. D. Noe)
