Same as A059523 except with a(1) = 1 instead of 2.

Alternatively, these are set-systems covering n vertices whose dual is a (strict) antichain. A set-system is a finite set of finite nonempty sets. The dual of a set-system has, for each vertex, one edge consisting of the indices (or positions) of the edges containing that vertex. An antichain is a set of sets, none of which is a subset of any other.
