The Lazy Caterer's sequence conjecture for restricted fractional partitions
The Lazy Caterer's sequence conjecture for restricted fractional partitions
Let and let . For a sequence of numerators , define
A sequence enables solutions when every positive integer can be represented as a sum of distinct fractions with denominator and numerators from the sequence. The Lazy Caterer's sequence conjecture. The Lazy Caterer's sequence (A000124) enables solutions for all , with and . This also appears to be true for the Cake Numbers (A000125).
