%N a(0) = 0. a(n) is the number of distinct sums of two elements in [a(0), ... a(n-1)] chosen without replacement.

%C a(n) <= A000217(n)-n.

%C Without replacement means that a(i)+a(i) is not a valid sum to include. However, if a(i) = a(j), a(i)+a(j) is still a valid sum to include because they have different indices.

%C If you include a(i)+a(i) (i.e., with replacement) as a valid sum, the sequence becomes 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, ... = 0, 1, followed by A008585(n) for n > 0.

%C a(i)+a(j) and a(j)+a(i) are regarded as the same for all indices i and j.

%e a(1) gives the number of distinct sums of two elements of [0]. There aren't two elements so a(1) = 0.

%e a(2) gives the number of distinct sums of two elements of [0,0]. There is only 1 sum, 0, so a(2) = 1.

%e a(3) gives the number of distinct sums of two elements of [0,0,1]. There are 2 distinct possible sums 0 and 1, so a(3) = 2.

%e a(4) gives the number of distinct sums of two elements of [0,0,1,2]. There are 4 distinct possible sums {0, 1, 2, 3}, so a(4) = 4.
