See the reference for the definition of a 'Farey fan'.
The number of vertices along each edge is A005728(n), while the number of regions is conjectured to equal A005598(n) = 1 + Sum_{i=1..n} (n-i+1)*phi(i). The regions count the number of distinct approximate representations of straight lines y = mx + b that can be drawn on an x-y integer raster, where x, y, and b are restricted to [0,n) and 0 <= m <=1.
It is also worth noting that for 3 <= n <= 10 this sequence equals 2*A005728(n) + A174030(n-2), where A174030(n) = Sum_{i=1..n} (i where phi(i)|i). That is, the number of internal vertices of the Farey fan equals A174030(n) in this range. This may suggest a possible attack on finding a formula for the present sequence.
