%N Number of Golomb rulers of length n.
%C Wanted: a recurrence. Are any of A169940-A169954 related to any other entries in the OEIS?
%C Leading entry in row n of triangle in A169940. Also the number of Sidon sets A with min(A) = 0 and max(A) = n. Odd for all n since {0,n} is the only symmetric Golomb ruler, and reversal preserves the Golomb property. Bounded from above by A032020 since the ruler {0 < r_1 < ... < r_t < n} gives rise to a composition of n: (r_1 - 0, r_2 - r_1, ... , n - r_t) with distinct parts. - _Tomas Boothby_, May 15 2012
%C Also the number of compositions of n such that every restriction to a subinterval has a different sum. This is a stronger condition than all distinct consecutive subsequences having a different sum (cf. A325676). - _Gus Wiseman_, May 16 2019
