Comments

A T_1-hypergraph is a hypergraph (not necessarily without empty hyperedges or multiple hyperedges) which for every ordered pair of distinct nodes has a hyperedge containing one but not the other node.

Examples

			There are 6 ordered antichain covers on an unlabeled 3-set: ({1,2,3}), ({1},{2,3}), ({2,3},{1}), ({1,2},{1,3}), ({1},{2},{3}), ({1,2},{1,3},{2,3}).
a(3)=1+3+2=6; a(4)=1+6+17+25+30+30=109; a(5)=1+10+71+429+2176+8310+20580+38640+60480+60480=191177.

Formula

a(n)=Sum_{k=1..C(n, floor(n/2))}b(k, n) where b(k, n) is the number of k-element ordered antichains covers of an unlabeled n-set.
