COMMENTS
The only allowed sets are the empty set, any singleton, any initial interval of positive integers and {2,4}. This can be shown by induction. - Andrew Howroyd, Aug 25 2019
FORMULA
a(n) = 2*n + 1 = A005408(n) for n > 3. - Andrew Howroyd, Aug 25 2019
EXAMPLE
The a(0) = 1 through a(6) = 13 subsets:
{} {} {} {} {} {} {}
{1} {1} {1} {1} {1} {1}
{2} {2} {2} {2} {2}
{1,2} {3} {3} {3} {3}
{1,2} {4} {4} {4}
{1,2,3} {1,2} {5} {5}
{2,4} {1,2} {6}
{1,2,3} {2,4} {1,2}
{1,2,3,4} {1,2,3} {2,4}
{1,2,3,4} {1,2,3}
{1,2,3,4,5} {1,2,3,4}
{1,2,3,4,5}
{1,2,3,4,5,6}
