Comments

Sets of this type may be called "positive combination-full".

Also subsets of {1..n} containing n whose greatest element can be written as a positive linear combination of the others.

Formula

a(n) = A088314(n) - 1.

Example

The subset {3,4,10} has 10 = 2*3 + 1*4 so is counted under a(10).
The a(0) = 0 through a(7) = 11 subsets:
  .  .  {1,2}  {1,3}    {1,4}    {1,5}    {1,6}      {1,7}
               {1,2,3}  {2,4}    {1,2,5}  {2,6}      {1,2,7}
                        {1,2,4}  {1,3,5}  {3,6}      {1,3,7}
                        {1,3,4}  {1,4,5}  {1,2,6}    {1,4,7}
                                 {2,3,5}  {1,3,6}    {1,5,7}
                                          {1,4,6}    {1,6,7}
                                          {1,5,6}    {2,3,7}
                                          {2,4,6}    {2,5,7}
                                          {1,2,3,6}  {3,4,7}
                                                     {1,2,3,7}
                                                     {1,2,4,7}
