FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=1..floor(c(n)/3)} Sum_{i=k..floor((c(n)-k)/2)} sign(floor((i+k)/(c(n)-i-k+1))) * chi(sqrt((c(n)/2)*(c(n)/2-i)*(c(n)/2-k)*(c(n)/2-(c(n)-i-k))) * i, where chi(n) = 1 - ceiling(n) + floor(n) and c(n) = A051518(n). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, May 12 2020
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 4; there is one Heronian triangle with perimeter A051518(1) = 12, which is [3,4,5] and its "middle" side length is 4.
a(6) = 23; there are two Heronian triangles with perimeter A051518(6) = 32, [4,13,15] and [10,10,12]. The sum is 13 + 10 = 23.
