%N Number of maximal subsets of {1..n} such that it is possible to choose a different binary index of each element.

%C A binary index of n is any position of a 1 in its reversed binary expansion. The binary indices of n are row n of A048793.

%C Also choices of A029837(n) elements of {1..n} such that it is possible to choose a different binary index of each.

%Y Dominated by A357812.

%Y The version for set-systems is A368601, max of A367902 (complement A367903).

%Y For prime indices we have A370585, with n A370590, see also A370591.

%Y This is the maximal case of A370636 (complement A370637).

%Y The case of a unique choice is A370638.

%Y The case containing n is A370641, non-maximal A370639.

%Y A048793 lists binary indices, A000120 length, A272020 reverse, A029931 sum.

%Y A058891 counts set-systems, A003465 covering, A323818 connected.

%Y A070939 gives length of binary expansion.

%Y A096111 gives product of binary indices.

%Y A307984 counts Q-bases of logarithms of positive integers.

%Y A355741 counts choices of a prime factor of each prime index.
