%N Number of strict knapsack partitions of n.

%C A strict knapsack partition is a set of positive integers summing to n such that every subset has a different sum.

%C Unlike in the non-strict case (A108917), the multiset of block-sums of any set partition of a strict knapsack partition also form a strict knapsack partition. If p is a strict knapsack partition of n with k parts, then the upper ideal of p in the poset of refinement-ordered integer partitions of n is isomorphic to the lattice of set partitions of {1,...,k}.

%C Conjecture: a(n)<a(n+1) iff n is even and positive.

%e For n=5, there are A000041(5) = 7 sets of positive integers that sum to 5. Four of these have distinct subsets with the same sum: {3,1,1}, {2,2,1}, {2,1,1,1}, and {1,1,1,1,1}. The other three: {5}, {4,1}, and {3,2}, do not have distinct subsets with the same sum. So a(5) = 3. - _Michael B. Porter_, Aug 17 2016
