COMMENTS

A covering of a set is a tricovering if every element of the set is covered by exactly three blocks of the covering. A covering of a set is a T_0-covering if for every two distinct elements of the set there exists a block of the covering containing one but not the other element.

FORMULA

E.g.f. for k-block T_0-tricoverings of an n-set is exp(-x+1/2*x^2+1/3*x^3*y)*Sum_{i=0..inf}(1+y)^binomial(i, 3)*exp(-1/2*x^2*(1+y)^i)*x^i/i!.

EXAMPLE

[0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 3, 1], [0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 39, 89, 43, 3], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 252, 2192, 4090, 2435, 445, 12], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1260, 37080, 179890, 289170, 188540, 50645, 4710, 70], ...; there are 5=1+3+1 T_0-tricoverings of a 3-set and 175=1+39+89+43+3 T_0-tricoverings of a 4-set, cf. A060070.
