%N Number of compositions of n whose distinct consecutive subsequences have different sums, and such that these sums cover an initial interval of positive integers.

%C A composition of n is a finite sequence of positive integers summing to n.

%C Compare to the definition of perfect partitions (A002033).

%e The distinct consecutive subsequences of (3,4,1,1) together with their sums are:

%e 1: {1}

%e 2: {1,1}

%e 3: {3}

%e 4: {4}

%e 5: {4,1}

%e 6: {4,1,1}

%e 7: {3,4}

%e 8: {3,4,1}

%e 9: {3,4,1,1}

%e Because the sums are all different and cover {1...9}, it follows that (3,4,1,1) is counted under a(9).

%e The a(1) = 1 through a(9) = 9 compositions:
