摘要：

Erd & odblac;s and Graham found it conceivable that the best nterm Egyptian underapproximation of almost every positive number for sufficiently large n gets constructed in a greedy manner, i.e., from the best (n - 1)-term Egyptian underapproximation. We show that the opposite is true: the set of real numbers with this property has Lebesgue measure zero. (c) 2024 Elsevier Inc.
