Formula

Partial sums of A000740. G.f.: 1/(1-x)* Sum_{k>0} mu(k)*x^k/(1-2*x^k).

a(n) = 2^n - A109511(n) - 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 01 2005

a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} mu(k)*(2^floor(n/k)-1). - Geoffrey Critzer, Jan 03 2012

Example

For n=4 there are 11 such subsets: {1}, {1,2}, {1,3}, {1,4}, {2,3}, {3,4}, {1,2,3}, {1,2,4}, {1,3,4}, {2,3,4}, {1,2,3,4}.

Maple

b:= n-> add(`if`(d=n, 2^(n-1), -b(d)), d=numtheory[divisors](n)):
a:= proc(n) option remember; b(n)+`if`(n<2, 0, a(n-1)) end:
seq(a(n), n=1..35);  # Alois P. Heinz, Oct 05 2018
