Number of NP-equivalence classes of switching functions of n or fewer variables.
Number of inequivalent binary nonlinear codes of length n (and all sizes).
a(n+1) = number of NPN-equivalence classes of canalizing functions (see A102449) with n variables. NPN-equivalence allows complementing the function value as well as the individual variables. E.g., the 6 inequivalent canalizing functions when n=3 are 0, x, x AND y, x AND y AND z, x AND (y OR z), x AND (y XOR z). - Don Knuth, Aug 24 2005, Aug 06 2006
