On the integral solutions of the Egyptian fraction equation $\frac ap=\frac 1x+\frac 1y+\frac 1z$

It is an interesting question to investigate the integral solutions for the Egyptian fraction equation $\frac{a}{p}=\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}$, which is known as Erd\H{o}s-Straus equation when $a=4$. Recently, Lazar proved that this equation has not integral solutions with $xy<\sqrt...
