Let V be a binary relation on the power set P(A) of a set A having n = |A| elements such that for every element x, y of P(A), xVy if x is a proper subset of y or y is a proper subset of x. Then a(n) = |V|. - Ross La Haye, Dec 22 2006
With regard to the comment by Ross La Haye: For nonempty subsets see a(n+1) in A260217. - If "proper" is omitted see A027649. - For nonempty subsets with "proper" omitted see A091344. - Manfred Boergens, Sep 04 2023
It appears that a(n) is the number of permutations p of 1,..,(n+2) such that max[p(i+1)-p(i)] is 2.  For example, for n=1, the permutations (1,3,2) and (2,1,3) and no others have the desired property, so a(1)=2.  This approach gives values in agreement with all listed terms. [John W. Layman, Nov 09 2011]

Equivalently, minimal number of multiplications required to compute the n-th power.

			For n < 149 and for many higher values of n, a(n) is the depth of n in a tree whose first 6 levels are shown below. The path from the root of the tree to n gives an optimal addition chain. (See Knuth, Vol. 2, Sect. 4.6.3, Fig. 14 and Ex. 5.)

E.g., a(15) = 5 and an optimal chain for 15 is 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 15.
It is not possible to extend the tree to include the optimal addition chains for all n. For example, the chains for 43, 77, and 149 are incompatible. See the link to Achim Flammenkamp's web page on addition chains.

An addition chain of length n for a number a is a sequence 1 = a_0, a_1,..., a_n = a such that for each i>0, a_i is the sum of two (not necessarily distinct) elements of the sequence. - Glen Whitney, Nov 09 2021
The largest number with an addition chain of length n is 2^n. This chain is of course shortest for 2^n. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Jan 20 2016
The step from a_{i-1} to a_i is called "small" if a_i is less than the smallest power of two greater than a_{i-1}. The sequence b(n) of the smallest number which requires n small steps in an addition chain is a subsequence of this sequence, starting a(0), a(2), a(4), a(7), a(10), a(15), a(21), a(28), a(37), a(46),... - Glen Whitney, Nov 09 2021

			a(7) = 29 because 29 is the smallest number with a shortest addition chain requiring 7 additions. An example of a shortest addition chain for 29 is (1 2 3 4 7 11 18 29).

Let R, S and T be binary relations on the power set P(A) of a set A having n = |A| elements such that for every element x, y of P(A), xRy if x is a subset of y or y is a subset of x, xSy if x is a subset of y and xTy if x is a proper subset of y. Then a(n,3) = |R|, a(n,2) = |S| and a(n,1) = |T|. Note that a binary relation W on P(A) can be defined also such that for every element x, y of P(A) xWy if x is a proper subset of y and there are no z in P(A) such that x is a proper subset of z and z is a proper subset of y. A090802(n,1) = |W|. Also, a(n,0) = |P(A)|.
