COMMENTS
Let A be a set of positive integers. We say that A is n-full if (sum A)=[n] for a positive integer n, where (sum A) is the set of all positive integers which are a sum of distinct elements of A and [n]={1,2,...,n}. The number a(n) denotes the maximum of the set {max A: (sum A)=[n]}, or 0 if there is no n-full set.

FORMULA
a(n) = ceiling(n/2) for n >= 20.
From Colin Barker, May 11 2020: (Start)
G.f.: x*(1 - x + x^2 - x^3 - 2*x^4 + 5*x^5 + x^6 - 7*x^7 - x^8 + 8*x^9 + x^10 - 3*x^11 - x^13 - 2*x^15 + 3*x^17 - x^21) / ((1 - x)^2*(1 + x)).
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) - a(n-3) for n>22.
