COMMENTS

This is the total number of pairwise non-isomorphic (i.e. "unlabeled") matroids on n points, with no restrictions on loops, parallel elements etc.

Partial sums of A058718. Partial sums of number of nonisomorphic loopless matroids on n unlabeled points. [From Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Apr 25 2010]

Abstract DeLoera et al: "Stanley conjectured in 1977 that the h-vector of a matroid simplicial complex is a pure O-sequence. We give simple constructive proofs that the conjecture is true for matroids of rank less than or equal to 3, and corank 2. We used computers [Dillon Mayhew and Gordon Royle constructed a computer database of all 385,369 matroids on at most nine elements] to verify that Stanley’s conjecture holds for all matroids on at most nine elements."
