What is known about the average growth rate of the denominators of $n$ Egyptian fractions summing to one?
Motivation
In the following question posted here on MO and over at MSE, user Noah Schweber asks about a weighted count on Egyptian fraction representations (EFRs). To that end, he defines the ...

Classifier-specific lower bounds on the misclassification rate in binary classification
Consider a binary classification problem for $(X,Y)$, and let $\hat{f}$ be a proposed classifier. We wish to bound the misclassification rate $P(\hat{f}(X)\ne Y)$. There are many known lower bounds on ...

Bounds for the crossing number in terms of the braid index?
Is there a lower bound on the crossing number of a knot (resp., link) with braid index $b$?
For knots, I believe the smallest crossing number for braid index 2 is 3, the smallest crossing number for ...

Are there known bounds on these ratios of chromatic polynomials?
The chromatic polynomial $P(G, \lambda)$ gives the number of proper vertex colorings of the graph $G$ with $\lambda$ colors. I'm interested in how many possible colorings you loose when you add an ...

Lower-bound on smallest singular-value of rectangular random matrix
Let $X$ be a random $N \times n$ matrix with iid entries from $\mathcal N(0, 1)$ and with $n/N =: \lambda(N,n) \le \lambda_0$, for some $\lambda_0 \in (0, 1)$. That is, $X$ is genuinely rectangular (...

Lower bound on exponential sums
Let $k\geq 2$. Consider the following norm of exponenetial sum:
$$
I(N,p,k)=\int_0^1\int_0^1 \left|\sum_{n=0}^N e^{2\pi i (n x+n^k y)}\right|^p dxdy.
$$
