Comments

a(n) is related to the sequence b(n) = |{(x, y): gcd(x, y) = 1, 1<=x, y<=n}| (A018805) as follows: a(n) = b(n - 1) + 2 (for n > 1). - Shawn Westmoreland (westmore(AT)math.utexas.edu), Jun 11 2003

Comment from N. J. A. Sloane, Sep 08 2019 (Start)

The above comment can be rephrased as saying that a(n) is the cardinality of the subsequence F(B(2n),n) of the Farey series F_{2n} that is extensively studied in Matveev (2017). See the definition on page 1.

For example, F(B(2),1), F(B(4),2), F(B(6),3), and F(B(8),4) are:

[0, 1/2, 1],

[0, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 1],

[0, 1/4, 1/3, 2/5, 1/2, 3/5, 2/3, 3/4, 1],

[0, 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 2/5, 3/7, 1/2, 4/7, 3/5, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, 1],

of cardinalities 3,5,9,13 respectively. See also A324796/A324797. (End)

a(n) is the number of visible points on an n X n square lattice when viewed from (0, 0), (0, n), (n, 0), or (n, n). - Torlach Rush, Nov 16 2020

Also number of elements in { c/d ; -d <= c <= d <= n }, i.e., distinct fractions with denominator not exceeding n and absolute value of numerator not exceeding the denominator. - M. F. Hasler, Mar 26 2023
