COMMENTS

Let P(A) be the power set of an n-element set A. Then a(n) = the number of pairs of elements {x,y} of P(A) for which either 0) x and y are disjoint and for which either x is a subset of y or y is a subset of x, or 1) x and y are intersecting but for which x is not a subset of y and y is not a subset of x, or 2) x and y are intersecting and for which either x is a proper subset of y or y is a proper subset of x. - Ross La Haye (rlahaye(AT)new.rr.com), Jan 11 2008

FORMULA

1/2!*(4^n-3^n+2^n-1)

a(n) = 3*StirlingS2(n+1,4) + 2*StirlingS2(n+1,3) + StirlingS2(n+1,2). - Ross La Haye (rlahaye(AT)new.rr.com), Jan 11 2008

From Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 28 2011 (Start)

E.g.f.: sum((-1)^j*exp(j*x),j=1..4)/2  = exp(x)*(exp(4*x)-1)/(exp(x)+1)/2.

O.g.f.: sum(((-1)^j)/(1-j*x),j=1..4)/2 = x*(1-5*x+7*x^2)/product(1-j*x,j=1..4). See A196847.
