A070880 Consider the 2^(n-1)-1 nonempty subsets S of {1, 2, ..., n-1}; a(n) gives number of such S for which it is impossible to partition n into parts from S such that each s in S is used at least once. 9

%C Also the number of nonempty subsets of {1..n-1} that cannot be linearly combined using all positive coefficients to obtain n. - _Gus Wiseman_, Sep 10 2023

%F a(n) = A365045(n) - 1. - _Gus Wiseman_, Sep 10 2023

%e a(4)=3 because there are three different subsets S of {1,2,3} satisfying the condition: {3}, {2,3} & {1,2,3}. For the other subsets S, such as {1,2}, there is a partition of 4 which uses them all (such as 4 = 1+1+2).

%e From _Gus Wiseman_, Sep 10 2023: (Start)

%e The a(6) = 22 subsets:

%e {4} {2,3} {1,2,4} {1,2,3,4} {1,2,3,4,5}

%e {5} {2,5} {1,2,5} {1,2,3,5}

%e {3,4} {1,3,4} {1,2,4,5}

%e {3,5} {1,3,5} {1,3,4,5}

%e {4,5} {1,4,5} {2,3,4,5}

%e {2,3,4}

%e {2,3,5}

%e {2,4,5}

%e {3,4,5}

%Y For sets with sum < n instead of maximum < n we have A088528.

%Y The complement is counted by A365042, including empty set A088314.

%Y Allowing empty sets gives A365045, nonnegative version apparently A124506.

%Y Without re-usable parts we have A365377(n) - 1.

%Y For nonnegative (instead of positive) coefficients we have A365380(n) - 1.

%Y A326083 counts combination-free subsets, complement A364914.

%Y A364350 counts combination-free strict partitions, complement A364913.
