Comments

Also the number of maximal subsets of {1..n} containing no differences of pairs of elements. - Gus Wiseman, Jul 10 2019

Examples

			a(5)=5 because the maximal sum-free subsets of {1,2,3,4,5} are {1,4}, {2,3}, {2,5}, {1,3,5} and {3,4,5}
From _Gus Wiseman_, Jul 10 2019: (Start)
The a(1) = 1 through a(8) = 13 subsets:
  {1}  {1}  {1,3}  {1,3}  {1,4}    {2,3}    {1,4,6}    {1,3,8}
       {2}  {2,3}  {1,4}  {2,3}    {1,3,5}  {1,4,7}    {1,4,6}
                   {2,3}  {2,5}    {1,4,6}  {2,3,7}    {1,4,7}
                   {3,4}  {1,3,5}  {2,5,6}  {2,5,6}    {1,5,8}
                          {3,4,5}  {3,4,5}  {2,6,7}    {1,6,8}
                                   {4,5,6}  {3,4,5}    {2,5,6}
                                            {1,3,5,7}  {2,5,8}
                                            {4,5,6,7}  {2,6,7}
                                                       {3,4,5}
                                                       {1,3,5,7}
                                                       {2,3,7,8}
                                                       {4,5,6,7}
