Comments

A sum-free sequence has no term that is the sum of a subset of its previous terms. There are an infinite number of sequences that are subsets of {1} union primes and sum-free. This sequence is lexicographically the first.

Example

a(8)=137 as 137 is the next prime after a(7)=47 that cannot be formed from distinct sums of a(1),...,a(7) (1,2,5,11,23,43,47).

Mathematica

memberQ[n1_, k1_] := If[Select[IntegerPartitions[Prime[n1], Length[k1], k1], Sort@#==Union@# &]=={}, False, True]; k={1}; n=1; While[Length[k]<15, (If[!memberQ[n, k], k=Append[k, Prime[n]]]; n++)]; k
