A closure operator cl is strict if {} is closed, i.e., cl({})={}; it is interval closure operator if for every set S, the statement that for all x,y in S, cl({x,y}) is a subset of S implies that S is closed.

a(n) is also the number of interval convexities on a set of n elements (see Chepoi).

			The a(2) = 3 set-systems include {}{12}, {}{1}{2}{12}, {}{1}{12} (equivalent to {}{2}{12}).
The a(3) = 14 set-systems are the following (system {{}, {1,2,3}}, and sets {} and {1,2,3} are omitted).
    {1}
    {1}{12}
    {12}
    {1}{12}{13}
    {1}{2}
    {1}{2}{12}
    {1}{2}{3}{12}
    {1}{2}{3}
    {1}{2}{13}
    {1}{2}{3}{13}{23}
    {1}{2}{12}{23}
    {1}{23}
    {1}{2}{3}{12}{13}{23}.
