Comments

A binary index of n is any position of a 1 in its reversed binary expansion. We define the set-system with BII-number n to be obtained by taking the binary indices of each binary index of n. Every finite set of finite nonempty sets has a different BII-number. For example, 18 has reversed binary expansion (0,1,0,0,1), and since the binary indices of 2 and 5 are {2} and {1,3} respectively, it follows that the BII-number of {{2},{1,3}} is 18.

Elements of a set-system are sometimes called edges. In an antichain of sets, no edge is a subset or superset of any other edge.

Examples

			The sequence of all antichains of nonempty sets together with their BII-numbers begins:
   0: {}
   1: {{1}}
   2: {{2}}
   3: {{1},{2}}
   4: {{1,2}}
   8: {{3}}
   9: {{1},{3}}
  10: {{2},{3}}
  11: {{1},{2},{3}}
  12: {{1,2},{3}}
  16: {{1,3}}
  18: {{2},{1,3}}
  20: {{1,2},{1,3}}
  32: {{2,3}}
  33: {{1},{2,3}}
  36: {{1,2},{2,3}}
  48: {{1,3},{2,3}}
  52: {{1,2},{1,3},{2,3}}
