Let n≥2n \ge 2 be an integer, and let AnA_n be the set An={2n−2k∣k∈Z,0≤k<n}.A_n = \{2^n - 2^k\mid k \in \mathbb{Z},\, 0 \le k < n\}. Determine the largest positive integer that cannot be written as the sum of one or more (not necessarily distinct) elements of AnA_n . [i]

Original LaTeX notation
Let $n \ge 2$ be an integer, and let $A_n$ be the set \[A_n = \{2^n  - 2^k\mid k \in \mathbb{Z},\, 0 \le k < n\}.\] Determine the largest positive integer that cannot be written as the sum of one or more (not necessarily distinct) elements of $A_n$ .
