Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Number of sequences of n numbers from 1 to n that do not have a subsequence that adds up to n.

COMMENTS
The sequence is bounded above for odd n by (((n-1)/2)^n)*(2^((n-1)/2)).
Growth appears to be slightly faster than exponential, but irregular, with odd-numbered terms larger than the trend.

EXAMPLE
For n=3, the only solution is 2,2,2.
For n=4, the 5 solutions are 3,3,3,3 and the four permutations of 3,3,3,2.
