%N Number of simple arrangements of n pseudolines in the projective plane with a marked cell. Number of Euclidean pseudo-order types: nondegenerate abstract order types of configurations of n points in the plane.
%C Also the number of nonisomorphic nondegenerate acyclic rank 3 oriented matroids on n elements. - _Manfred Scheucher_, May 09 2022

%F Asymptotics: a(n) = 2^(Theta(n^2)). This is Bachmann-Landau notation, that is, there are constants n_0, c, and d, such that for every n >= n_0 the inequality 2^{c n^2} <= a(n) <= 2^{d n^2} is satisfied.
