[seqfan] Re: Bounded egyptian fractions summing to 1

[Benoît Jubin]

The slides you mention study the asymptotic behaviour of the sequence of
integers that are not the largest denominator in an Egyptian fraction
summing to 1, which seems to be the complement of A092671, but might
deserve its own entry with a link to Greg Martin's slides and papers.
