Comments

A partition of the set [n] is a family nonempty disjoint sets whose union is [n]. The blocks are written in order of increasing minima. A partition of the set [n] can be written as a word p=p_1p_2...p_n where p_i=j if element i is in block j. A partition q=q_1q_2...q_n contains partition p=p_1p_2...p_k if there is a subword q_{i_1}q_{i_2}...q_{i_k} such that q_{i_a}

Examples

			For n=2 the a(2)=5 solutions are 1^11^1, 1^21^1, 1^21^2, 1^12^1, 1^22^2.
