Abstract:
      An infinite integer sequence $\{1\leq a_{1}< a_{2}< \cdots \} $ is called $A$-sequence, if no $a_{i}$ is sum of distinct members of the sequence other than $a_{i}$. We give an example for the $A$-sequence, and the reciprocal sum of elements is $\sum \frac{1}{a_{i}} > 2.065436491$, which improves slightly the related upper bounds for the reciprocal sums of sum-free sequences.
