A282033 An example of a collection of five sets (based on U.S. coinage) which is not an additive number system. 2

%N An example of a collection of five sets (based on U.S. coinage) which is not an additive number system.

%C The five sets are the following:

%C 1, 2, 3, 4;

%C 5;

%C 10, 20;

%C 25, 50, 75;

%C 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, ...

%C (the last set being infinite).

%C In contrast to A282032 this is not an additive number system because 26 for example can be represented in two ways as a sum of numbers from distinct sets (26 = 1+5+20 = 1+25).

%Y Cf. A032174, A282032, A282034 are legitimate examples of additive number systems.
