%F a(n) = Sum_{k=1..ceiling(n/2)} k * A355145(n,k). - _Alois P. Heinz_, Jun 27 2022

%e a(4)=8 since the primitive subsets of (1,2,3,4) are ( ) (1) (2) (3) (4) (2,3) (3,4) and these contain eight elements

%Y A051026 gives the number of primitive subsets. A087078 gives the sum of the elements of the primitive subsets. A087080 gives the number elements in the coprime subsets.

%Y Cf. A355145.
