COMMENT

For n>=4, a maximal set can be chosen by taking all irreducible polynomials of degree n, the squares of all irreducible polynomials of degree n/2 (if n is even) and, for each irreducible polynomial p of degree d with 1 <= d < n/2, a product p*q where q is irreducible of degree n-d. The q's should all be distinct, which is possible when n>=4.

FORMULA

a(n) = P(n) + sum_{i from 1 to floor(n/2)} P(i), where P(n) = A001037(n) = number of irreducible polynomials of degree n.

EXAMPLE

n=1: x and x+1. n=2: x^2, x^2+1, x^2+x+1. n=3: x^3, x^3+1, x^3+x+1, x^3+x^2+1.

MATHEMATICA

p[0]=1; p[n_] := Sum[If[Mod[n, d]==0, MoebiusMu[n/d]2^d, 0], {d, 1, n}]/n; a[n_] := p[n]+Sum[p[i], {i, 1, Floor[n/2]}]
