EXAMPLE
a(1) = 2 because we can choose {1}, {2}.
a(2) = 2 because we can choose {2, 3}, {3, 4}.
a(3) = 3 because we can choose {2, 3, 5}, {3, 4, 5}, {4, 5, 6}.
MAPLE
F:= proc(S, m)
option remember;
local s, S1, S2;
if nops(S) < m then return 0 fi;
if m = 1 then return nops(S) fi;
s:= min(S);
S1:= S minus {s};
S2:= S minus {seq(j*s, j=1..floor(max(S)/s))};
F(S1, m) + F(S2, m-1);
end proc;
seq(F({$1..2*n}, n), n=1..37); # Robert Israel, Aug 25 2015
MATHEMATICA
