%N Number of strict closure operators on a set of n elements such that every point and every closed set not containing that point can be separated by clopen sets.

%C A closure operator is strict if the empty set is closed.

%C A point p in X and a subset A of X not containing p are separated by a set H if p is an element of H and A is a subset of X\H.

%C Also the number of S_3 convexities on a set of n elements in the sense of Chepoi.
