We define a connectedness system (investigated by Vim van Dam in 2002) to be a set of finite nonempty sets (edges) that is closed under taking the union of two overlapping edges.

When speaking of inequivalent Boolean functions, three groups of symmetries are typically considered: Complementations only, the Abelian group (2,...,2) of 2^n elements; permutations only, the symmetric group of n! elements; or both complementations and permutations, the octahedral group of 2^n n! elements. In this case only symmetry with respect to the symmetric group is appropriate because complementation affects the property of being a Horn function.

Also the number of non-isomorphic sets of subsets of {1..n} that are closed under union. - Gus Wiseman, Aug 04 2019

Also the number of unlabeled finite sets of subsets of {1..n} that contain {} and {1..n} and are closed under intersection. - Gus Wiseman, Aug 02 2019

We define a connectedness system (investigated by Vim van Dam in 2002) to be a set of finite nonempty sets (edges) that is closed under taking the union of any two overlapping edges.

A binary index of n is any position of a 1 in its reversed binary expansion. The binary indices of n are row n of A048793. 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, the BII-number of {{2},{1,3}} is 18. Elements of a set-system are sometimes called edges.

The enumeration of these set-systems by number of covered vertices is given by A326870.

We define a connectedness system (investigated by Vim van Dam in 2002) to be a set of finite nonempty sets (edges) that is closed under taking the union of any two overlapping edges. It is covering if every vertex belongs to some edge.

We define a connectedness system to be a set of finite nonempty sets (edges) that is closed under taking the union of any two overlapping edges. It is connected if it is empty or contains an edge with all the vertices. Then a(n) is the number of unlabeled connected connectedness systems without singletons on n vertices. - Gus Wiseman, Aug 01 2019

From Gus Wiseman, Aug 01 2019: (Start)

If we define a connectedness system to be a set of finite nonempty sets (edges) that is closed under taking the union of any two overlapping edges, then a(n) is the number of unlabeled connectedness systems on n vertices without singleton edges. Non-isomorphic representatives of the a(3) = 6 connectedness systems without singletons are:

{}

{{1,2}}

{{1,2,3}}

{{2,3},{1,2,3}}

{{1,3},{2,3},{1,2,3}}

{{1,2},{1,3},{2,3},{1,2,3}}
