Comments

A set-system is a finite set of finite nonempty sets. Its elements are sometimes called edges. The dual of a set-system has, for each vertex, one edge consisting of the indices (or positions) of the edges containing that vertex. For example, the dual of {{1,2},{2,3}} is {{1},{1,2},{2}}. A weak antichain is a multiset of sets, none of which is a proper subset of any other.

Examples

			The a(0) = 1 through a(3) = 16 antichains:
  {}  {}     {}         {}
      {{1}}  {{1}}      {{1}}
             {{2}}      {{2}}
             {{1,2}}    {{3}}
             {{1},{2}}  {{1,2}}
                        {{1,3}}
                        {{2,3}}
                        {{1},{2}}
                        {{1,2,3}}
                        {{1},{3}}
                        {{2},{3}}
                        {{1},{2,3}}
                        {{2},{1,3}}
                        {{3},{1,2}}
                        {{1},{2},{3}}
                        {{1,2},{1,3},{2,3}}
