Comments

These rings do not necessarily contain an identity element.

This sequence is multiplicative. See the reference "The Numbers of Small Rings" below, which proves the result for all rings; restricting to commutative rings only makes the proof easier. - Conjecture by Mitch Harris, Apr 19 2005, proof found by Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Jul 10 2012
