%N A066063 Size of the smallest subset S of T={0,1,2,...,n} such that each element of T is the sum of two elements of S.
%C A066063 If one counts all subsets S of T={0,1,2,...n} such that each number in T is the sum of two elements of S, sequence A066062 is obtained.
%C A066063 Since each k-subset of S covers at most binomial(k + 1, 2) members of T, we have binomial(a(n) + 1, 2) >= n + 1. It follows that A002024(n-1) is a lower bound. - _Rob Pratt_, May 14 2004
%C A066063 This is an instance of the <= 2-stamp postage problem with n denominations. For n > 0, a(n) = 1 + the smallest i such that A001212(i) >= n (adding one adjusts for the fact that A001212 has offset 1). - Tim Peters (tim.one(AT)comcast.net), Aug 25 2006
%e A066063 For n=2, it is clear that S={0,1} is the unique subset of {0,1,2} that satisfies the definition, so a(2)=2.
