%N Number of subsets of [1..n] of maximal size that are free of 3-term arithmetic progressions.

%C The sequence A003002 gives the size of the largest subset of the integers up to n that avoids three-term arithmetic progressions. This sequence gives the number of distinct subsets of [1..n] that have that size and are free of three-term arithmetic progressions.

%e The largest subset of [1,6] that doesn't have any 3 terms in arithmetic progression has size 4. There are 4 such subsets with this property: {1,2,4,5}, {1,2,5,6}, {1,3,4,6} and {2,3,5,6}, so a(6)=4.
