Abstract: For given positive integers $n$ and $a$, let $R(n;,a)$ denote the number of positive integer solutions $(x,,y)$ of the Diophantine equation ${\displaystyle }$ {aover n}={1over x}+{1over y}. ${\displaystyle }$ Write ${\displaystyle }$ S(N;,a)=sum_{substack{nleq N (n,,a)=1}}R(n;,a). ${\displaystyle }$ Recently Jingjing Huang and R. C. Vaughan proved that for $4leqN$ and $aleq2N$, there is an asymptotic formula ${\displaystyle }$ S(N;,a)={3over pi^2a}prod_{p|a}{p-1over p+1}cdot N(log^2N+c_1(a) log N+c_0(a))+Delta(N;,a). ${\displaystyle }$ In this paper, we shall get a more explicit expression with better error term for $c_0(a)$.
