A134057 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 x is not a subset of y and y is not 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. 1

FORMULA

a(n) = (1/2)(4^n - 3*2^n + 2) = 3*(StirlingS2(n+1,4) + StirlingS2(n+1,3)).

a(n) = C(2^n - 1,2). - Ross La Haye (rlahaye(AT)new.rr.com), Jan 21 2008

a(n) = StirlingS2(2^n - 1,2^n - 2).

EXAMPLE

a(2) = 3 because for P(A) = {{},{1},{2},{1,2}} we have for case 0

{{1},{2}} and we have for case 2 {{1},{1,2}}, {{2},{1,2}}. There are 0

{x,y} of P(A) in this example that fall under case 1.
