Except for a(0) = 1, this is also the number of antichains of nonempty sets covering n vertices (A006126). There are two antichains of size zero, namely {} and {{}}, while there is only one simplicial complex, namely {}. The unlabeled case is A261005. The non-covering case is A014466.

The dual of a multiset partition has, for each vertex, one block consisting of the indices (or positions) of the blocks containing that vertex, counted with multiplicity. For example, the dual of {{1,2},{2,2}} is {{1},{1,2,2}}.

The weight of a multiset partition is the sum of sizes of its parts. Weight is generally not the same as number of vertices.

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.

Also number of pure (= irreducible) group-testing histories of n items - A. Boneh, Mar 31 2000

Also number of antichain covers of an unlabeled n-set, so a(n) equals first differences of A003182. - Vladeta Jovovic, Goran Kilibarda, Aug 18 2000

Also number of inequivalent (under permutation of variables) nondegenerate monotone Boolean functions of n variables. We say h and g (functions of n variables) are equivalent if there exists a permutation p of S_n such that hp=g. E.g., a(3)=5 because xyz, xy+xz+yz, x+yz+xyz, xy+xz+xyz, x+y+z+xy+xz+yz+xyz are 5 inequivalent nondegenerate monotone Boolean functions that generate (by permutation of variables) the other 4. For example, y+xz+xyz can be obtained from x+yz+xyz by exchanging x and y. - Alan Veliz-Cuba (alanavc(AT)vt.edu), Jun 16 2006

The non-spanning/covering case is A003182. The labeled case is A006126. - Gus Wiseman, Feb 20 2019

The dual of a multiset partition has, for each vertex, one block consisting of the indices (or positions) of the blocks containing that vertex, counted with multiplicity. For example, the dual of {{1,2},{2,2}} is {{1},{1,2,2}}. The T_0 condition means the dual is strict (no repeated elements).

Given a finite set S of positive integers greater than 1, let G(S) be the simple labeled graph with vertex set S and edges between any two vertices that have a common divisor greater than 1. For example, G({6,14,15,35}) is a 4-cycle. A set S is said to be connected if G(S) is a connected graph. The clutter density of S is defined to be Sum_{s in S} (omega(s) - 1) - omega(LCM(S)), where omega = A001221 and LCM is least common multiple. Then a z-tree is a finite connected set of pairwise indivisible positive integers greater than 1 with clutter density -1.

This is a generalization to multiset systems of the usual definition of hypertree (viz. connected hypergraph F such that two distinct hyperedges of F intersect in at most a common vertex and such that every cycle of F is contained in a hyperedge).

If n is squarefree with k prime factors, then a(n) = A030019(k).

Sometimes called Hosten-Morris numbers (or HM numbers).

Also the number of simplicial complexes on the set {1, ..., n-1} such that no pair of faces covers all of {1, ..., n-1}. [Miller-Sturmfels] - N. J. A. Sloane, Feb 18 2008

Also the maximal number of generators of a neighborly monomial ideal in n variables. [Miller-Sturmfels]. - N. J. A. Sloane, Feb 18 2008

Also the number of intersecting antichains on a labeled (n-1)-set or (n-1)-variable Boolean functions in the Post class F(7,2). Cf. A059090. - Vladeta Jovovic, Goran Kilibarda, Dec 28 2000

Also the number of nondominated coteries on n members. - Don Knuth, Sep 01 2005

The number of maximal families of intersecting subsets of an n-element set. - Bridget Tenner, Nov 16 2006

Rivière gives a(n) for n <= 5. - N. J. A. Sloane, May 12 2012

Only the non-singleton edges are required to form an antichain.

Number of non-degenerate unate Boolean functions of n or fewer variables. - Aniruddha Biswas, May 11 2024

From Gus Wiseman, Jul 03 2019: (Start)

Also the number of antichains covering n vertices and having empty intersection (meaning there is no vertex in common to all the edges). For example, the a(3) = 5 antichains are:

{{3},{1,2}}

{{2},{1,3}}

{{1},{2,3}}

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

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

Given a finite set S of positive integers greater than 1, let G(S) be the simple labeled graph with vertex set S and edges between any two vertices that have a common divisor greater than 1. For example, G({6,14,15,35}) is a 4-cycle. A set S is said to be connected if G(S) is a connected graph. The clutter density of S is defined to be Sum_{s in S} (omega(s) - 1) - omega(LCM(S)), where omega = A001221 and LCM is least common multiple. A z-blob is a finite connected set S of pairwise indivisible positive integers greater than 1 such that no cap of S with at least two edges has clutter density -1.

If n is squarefree with k prime factors, then a(n) = A275307(k).
