COMMENTS

T_1-hypergraph is a hypergraph (not necessarily without empty hyperedges or multiple hyperedges) which for every ordered pair of distinct nodes have a hyperedge containing one but not the other node.

FORMULA

a(n)=C(n + 7, 7) - 6*C(n + 5, 5) + 6*C(n + 4, 4) + 3*C(n + 3, 3) - 6*C(n + 2, 2) + 2*C(n + 1, 1)=n*(n - 2)*(n - 1)*(n + 1)*(n^3 + 30*n^2 + 131*n - 270)/5040.

G.f.: 1/(1-x)^8-6/(1-x)^6+6/(1-x)^5+3/(1-x)^4-6/(1-x)^3+2/(1-x)^2 = x^3*(2+3*x-6*x^2+2*x^3)/(1-x)^8.

Recurrence: a(n) = 8*a(n-1)-28*a(n-2)+56*a(n-3)-70*a(n-4)+56*a(n-5)-28*a(n-6)+8*a(n-7)-a(n-8).

Generally, recurrence for the number of m - element ordered antichains on an unlabeled n - element set is a(m, n) = C(2^m, 1)*a(m, n - 1) - C(2^m, 2)*a(m, n - 2) + C(2^m, 3)*a(m, n - 3) + ... + ( - 1)^(k - 1)*C(2^m, k)*a(m, n - k) + ... - a(m, n - 2^m).

a(n)= A000580(n+7)-6*A000389(n+5)+6*A000332(n+4)+3*A000292(n+1)-6*A000217(n+1)+2*A000027(n+1). - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Nov 16 2007

EXAMPLE

There are 19 3-element ordered antichains on an unlabeled 4-element set: ({4},{3},{2}), ({4},{3},{1,2}), ({4},{2,3},{1}), ({4},{2,3},{1,3}), ({3,4},{2},{1}), ({3,4},{2},{1,4}), ({3,4},{2,4},{2,3}), ({3,4},{2,4},{1}), ({3,4},{2,4},{1,4}), ({3,4},{2,4},{1,3}), ({3,4},{2,4},{1,2}), ({3,4},{2,4},{1,2,3}), ({3,4},{1,2},{2,4}), ({3,4},{1,2,4},{2,3}), ({3,4},{1,2,4},{1,2,3}), ({2,3,4},{1,4},{1,3}), ({2,3,4},{1,4},{1,2,3}), ({2,3,4},{1,3,4},{1,2}), ({2,3,4},{1,3,4},{1,2,4}).
