Using the standard definition of sum-free set, this is simply the difference of successive terms in A007865.

Number of subsets of {1..n} containing n but not containing the sum of any other two elements (repeats allowed). Also the number of sum-free sets (A007865) with maximum n. - Gus Wiseman, Aug 12 2023

Examples

			1 can be added to {};
2 can be added to {} but not {1};
3 can be added to {},{1},{2};
4 can be added to {},{1},{3} but not {2},{1,3},{2,3}.
From _Gus Wiseman_, Aug 12 2023: (Start)
The a(1) = 1 through a(7) = 18 sum-free sets with maximum n:
  {1}  {2}  {3}    {4}    {5}      {6}      {7}
            {1,3}  {1,4}  {1,5}    {1,6}    {1,7}

For non-binary sum-free subsets of {1..n} we have A237667.

For sum-free partitions we have A364345, without re-using parts A236912.

Without re-using parts we have A364755, diffs of A085489 (non-bin A151897).

The complement without re-using parts is A364756, differences of A088809.
