Is it a sum-free set?

Question

A set is sum-free if no two (not necessarily distinct) elements when added together are part of the set itself.

For example, {1, 5, 7} is sum-free, because all members are odd, and two odd numbers when added together are always even. On the other hand, {2, 4, 9, 13} is not sum-free, as either 2 + 2 = 4 or 4 + 9 = 13 add together to a member of the set.

Write a program or function that takes a set as input, and outputs a Truthy value if the set is sum-free, and Falsy otherwise.

Examples:

Sum-free:
{}
{4}
{1, 5, 7}
{16, 1, 4, 9}

Not sum-free:
{0}
{1, 4, 5, 7}
{3, 0}
{16, 1, 4, 8}

How it works

ṗ3ḅ-P  Main link. Argument: A (array)

ṗ3     Take the third Cartesian power of A, i.e., generate all triplets that
       consist of elements of A.
  ḅ-   Convert each triplet from base -1 to integer.
       This maps [a, b, c] to a - b + c = (a + c) - b.
       If (a + c) belong to A, this will yield 0 for some b.
    P  Take the product of all resulting integers.

n=>!n.some(m=>n.some(o=>n.includes(m+o)))

Thanks Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ for saving me a ton of bytes off parentheses/curly brackets. Also thanks Neil for pointing out that the function was returning the opposite boolean value than it should have.

I tried to cut down on bytes by redefining n.some but that doesn't work because it's a prototype function unfortunately. There might be a better solution with Array.prototype.map in JS but the some function is really fun.

I'm now wondering if there's a shorter way than .includes using something such as .indexOf and adding 1 (which would give it a truthy value if it contains the number).

---

Testing:

> (n=>!n.some(m=>n.some(o=>n.includes(m+o))))([1,5,7]);
true
> (n=>!n.some(m=>n.some(o=>n.includes(m+o))))([1,5,7,12]);
false

-:]-.+/~

Matches the original list with the set difference of tabulated sums. This is equivalent to:

(-: (] -. +/~)) y

for input y. This translates to:

y -: (] -. +/~) y
y -: (y -. +/~ y)

+/~ returns a table of sums using y. For y =: 16 1 4 9, this gives:

   +/~ 16 1 4 9
32 17 20 25
17  2  5 10
20  5  8 13
25 10 13 18

Then, we use -., which produces a list consisting of all elements in y not in this table. If the list is sum-free, this will produce the same list. Then, -: checks for equality of lists, which produces the desired output.

Old, 18 bytes

[:-.[:>./^:_+/~e.]

+/~ creates a table of the values of the set added to itself, and e. checks if those members are in the original set. The rest of that is negating the maximal element.

\d+
<$&$*1>
$
$`$`
M`(<1*)>.*<(1*>).*\1\2
^0

Input is a decimal list of comma-separated numbers. Output is 0 (falsy) or 1 (truthy).

Try it online! (The first line enables a linefeed-separated test suite.)

Explanation

Stage 1: Substitution

\d+
<$&$*1>

This converts all elements of the input to unary and wraps them in <...>. The purpose of the angle brackets is to distinguish a list containing only 0 from an empty list (since the unary representation of 0 is empty itself).

Stage 2: Substitution

$
$`$`

We repeat the string 3 times by append it twice at the end.

Stage 3: Match

M`(<1*)>.*<(1*>).*\1\2

We now try to find three numbers in the result such that the first two add up to the third. Those matches are counted (this doesn't actually count all such tuples, because matches cannot overlap, but if such a tuple exists it will be found). Hence, we get 0 for sum-free sets and something positive otherwise.

Stage 4: Match

^0

Since the previous stage gave the opposite of what we want, we negate the result by counting the matches of ^0 which is 1 for input 0 and 0 for everything else.

@(s)~[ismember(s,s+s') 0]

Thanks to Suever! It returns an array. I added 0 at the end to make [] become sum-free. To verify truthy and falsey in Octave, you can do this:

> f=@(s)~[ismember(s,s+s') 0]

> if f([]) "sum-free" else "not sum-free" end
ans = sum-free

> if f([0]) "sum-free" else "not sum-free" end
ans = not sum-free

> if f([4]) "sum-free" else "not sum-free" end
ans = sum-free

> if f([1 3]) "sum-free" else "not sum-free" end
ans = sum-free

> if f([2 4]) "sum-free" else "not sum-free" end
ans = not sum-free

An alternative that returns 0 or 1 is:

@(s)~numel(intersect(s+s',s))

Answer 13

Mathematica 63 62 42 bytes

This shorter version benefitted from A Simmons' submission. No element needs to be removed from the list before IntegerPartitions is applied.

If an element cannot be partitioned into two integers (each from the list), then IntegerPartitions[#,{2},#]=={} holds. And checks whether this holds for every element in the list. If so, the list is sum-free.

And@@(IntegerPartitions[#,{2},#]=={}&/@#)&

---

Examples

 And@@(IntegerPartitions[#,{2},#]=={}&/@ #)&@{2, 4, 9, 13}

False

---

 And@@(IntegerPartitions[#,{2},#]=={}&/@ #)&@{1, 5, 7}

True

---

There is a 2, but no odd numbers that differ by 2.

 And@@(IntegerPartitions[#,{2},#]=={}&/@#)&@{2, 3, 7, 11, 17, 23, 29, 37, 41, 47, 53, 59, 67, 71}

Perl, 46 bytes

45 bytes code + 1 byte command line (-p)

$_="$_ $_ $_"!~/(\b\d++.*)((?1))(??{$1+$2})/

Uses a single regex match with Perl's support for 'code expressions' inside the regex to allow for evaluation within a match.

To get around the requirement that the input is unsorted, we repeat the input string three times. This guarantees that the result is after the two operands, and allows the same digit to be matched again (e.g. in the case of input 2 4).

Usage example:

echo "3 5 6 8" | perl -p entry.pl
