No edge of a minimal cover can be a subset of any other, so minimal covers are antichains, but the converse is not true. - Gus Wiseman, Jul 03 2019

The axiom of choice says that, given any set of nonempty sets Y, it is possible to choose a set containing an element from each. The strict version requires this set to have the same cardinality as Y, meaning no element is chosen more than once.

Includes all set-systems with more edges than covered vertices, but this condition is not sufficient.

			The a(3) = 1 set-system is: {{1,2},{1,3},{2,3},{1,2,3}}.

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-forest is a finite set of pairwise indivisible positive integers greater than 1 such that all connected components are z-trees, meaning they have clutter density -1.
This is a generalization to multiset systems of the usual definition of hyperforest (viz. 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) = A134954(k).
Differs from A324837 at positions {1, 180, 210, ...}. For example, a(210) = 55, A324837(210) = 49.

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. A minimal cover is a set-system where every edge contains at least one vertex that does not belong to any other edge.

			The sequence of all minimal covers together with their BII-numbers begins:
    0: {}
    1: {{1}}

An intersecting antichain S is a finite set of finite nonempty sets (edges), any two of which have a nonempty intersection, and none of which is a subset of any other.
