Distinct subset sums #

This file defines finite sets of natural numbers with distinct subset sums and establishes the elementary upper bound on their sum of squares in terms of their largest element.

A finite set has distinct subset sums if the subset-sum map on its powerset is injective.

    The powerset of a finite set has cardinality 2 ^ A.card.

    The sum of the squared elements of a nonempty finite set is at most its cardinality times the square of its largest element.
