cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

Number of n x n binary matrices without zero rows and with distinct rows up to permutation of rows, cf. A014070.
Row 0 of square array A136555.
From Gus Wiseman, Dec 19 2023: (Start)
Also the number of n-element sets of nonempty subsets of {1..n}, or set-systems with n vertices and n edges (not necessarily covering). The covering case is A054780. For example, the a(3) = 35 set-systems are:
{1}{2}{3} {1}{2}{12} {1}{2}{123} {1}{12}{123} {12}{13}{123}
{1}{2}{13} {1}{3}{123} {1}{13}{123} {12}{23}{123}
{1}{2}{23} {1}{12}{13} {1}{23}{123} {13}{23}{123}
{1}{3}{12} {1}{12}{23} {2}{12}{123}
{1}{3}{13} {1}{13}{23} {2}{13}{123}
{1}{3}{23} {2}{3}{123} {2}{23}{123}
{2}{3}{12} {2}{12}{13} {3}{12}{123}
{2}{3}{13} {2}{12}{23} {3}{13}{123}
{2}{3}{23} {2}{13}{23} {3}{23}{123}
{3}{12}{13} {12}{13}{23}
{3}{12}{23}
{3}{13}{23}
Of these, only {{1},{2},{1,2}}, {{1},{3},{1,3}}, and {{2},{3},{2,3}} do not cover the vertex set.

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^(n-k) * binomial(2^n,k).
a(n) = (1/n!)*Sum_{k=0..n} Stirling1(n,k) * (2^n-1)^k.
G.f.: Sum_{n>=0} log(1 + 2^n*x)^n / (n! * (1 + 2^n*x)).
a(n) ~ 2^(n^2)/n!. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 02 2016
