A014466 Dedekind numbers: monotone Boolean functions, or nonempty antichains of subsets of an n-set. 82

%N Dedekind numbers: monotone Boolean functions, or nonempty antichains of subsets of an n-set.

%C A monotone Boolean function is an increasing functions from P(S), the set of subsets of S, to {0,1}.

%C The count of antichains includes the antichain consisting of only the empty set, but excludes the empty antichain.

%C Also counts bases of hereditary systems.

%C Also antichains of nonempty subsets of an n-set. The unlabeled case is A306505. The spanning case is A307249. This sequence has a similar description to A305000 except that the singletons must be disjoint from the other edges. - _Gus Wiseman_, Feb 20 2019

%C a(n) is the total number of hierarchical log-linear models on n labeled factors (categorical variables). See Wickramasinghe (2008) and Nardi and Rinaldo (2012). - _Petros Hadjicostas_, Apr 08 2020

%C From _Lorenzo Sauras Altuzarra_, Apr 02 2023: (Start)

%C a(n) is the number of labeled abstract simplicial complexes on n vertices.

%C A058673(n) <= a(n) <= A058891(n+1). (End)
