Erdős problem 357

Let f(n)f(n) be the maximal kk such that there exist integers 1a1<<akn1 \le a_1 < \dotsc < a_k \le n such that all sums of the shape uivai\sum_{u \le i \le v} a_i are distinct. It is known that f(n)(2+o(1))nf(n) \geq (2+o(1))\sqrt{n}. Source: See comment by Desmond Weisenberg here: https://www.erdosproblems.com/forum/thread/357.

Let h(n)h(n) be the maximal kk such that there exist integers 1a1akn1 \le a_1 \leq \dotsc \leq a_k \le n such that all sums of the shape uivai\sum_{u \le i \le v} a_i are distinct. How does h(n)h(n) grow? Can we find a (good) explicit function gg such that g=o(h)g = o(h) ?
