COMMENTS
| Fridshal's example for n=9 was S_{2,3,4,8,9}(x_1,...,x_9); this has "only" 765 prime implicants.

FORMULA
| a(n)=a(ceiling(n/2) - 1, n), where a(m, n) = trinomial(n, ceiling(m/2), floor(m/2), n-m) + binomial(n, ceiling(m/2-1)) + a(ceiling(m/2)-2, n).
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
| a(9)=766 because of the symmetric function S_{0,2,3,4,8}(x_1, ..., x_9).
