Abstract

An Egyptian fraction is a finite sum of distinct rational numbers of the form 1 m , where m is a nonzero integer. It is well known that every rational number can be expressed as an Egyptian fraction. The purpose of this paper is to explore natural analogs of this concept for commutative integral domains. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
