a(n) is asymptotic to 2^(n+1)/n. More precisely, I conjecture for any m > 0, a(n) = 2^(n+1)/n * Sum_{k=0..m} A000670(k)/n^k + o(1/n^(m+1)) (A000670 = preferential arrangements of n labeled elements) which can be written a(n) = 2^n/n * 2 + Sum_{k=1..m} A000629(k)/n^k + o(1/n^(m+1)) (A000629 = necklaces of sets of labeled beads). In fact I conjecture that a(n) = 2^(n+1)/n * (1 + 1/n + 3/n^2 + 13/n^3 + 75/n^4 + 541/n^5 + o(1/n^5)). - Benoit Cloitre, Oct 20 2002

FORMULA
|
a(n) = Sum_{i=1..n} (A063776(i) - 1).
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
a(4) = 8 because each of the 8 subsets {1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {1,3}, {2,4}, {1,2,3}, {2,3,4} has an integer average.
