%N Number of partially ordered sets ("posets") with n labeled elements (or labeled acyclic transitive digraphs).
%C From _Altug Alkan_, Dec 22 2015: (Start)
%C a(p^k) == 1 (mod p) and a(n + p) == a(n + 1) (mod p) for all primes p.
%C a(0+19) == a(0+1) (mod 19) or a(19^1) == 1 (mod 19), that is, a(19) mod 19 = 1.
%C a(2+17) == a(2+1) (mod 17). So a(19) == 19 (mod 17), that is, a(19) mod 17 = 2.
%C a(6+13) == a(6+1) (mod 13). So a(19) == 6129859 (mod 13), that is, a(19) mod 13 = 8.
%C a(8+11) == a(8+1) (mod 11). So a(19) == 44511042511 (mod 11), that is, a(19) mod 11 = 1.
%C a(12+7) == a(12+1) (mod 7). So a(19) == 171850728381587059351 (mod 7), that is, a(19) mod 7 = 1.
%C a(14+5) == a(14+1) (mod 5). So a(19) == 77567171020440688353049939 (mod 5), that is, a(19) mod 5 = 4.
%C a(16+3) == a(16+1) (mod 3). So a(19) == 122152541250295322862941281269151 (mod 3), that is, a(19) mod 3 = 1.
%C a(17+2) == a(17+1) (mod 2). So a(19) mod 2 = 1.
%C In conclusion, a(19) is a number of the form 2*3*5*7*11*13*17*19*n - 1615151, that is, 9699690*n - 1615151.
%C Additionally, for n > 0, note that the last digit of a(n) has the simple periodic pattern: 1,3,9,9,1,3,9,9,1,3,9,9,...

%F a(p^k) == 1 (mod p) for all primes p and for all nonnegative integers k.
%F a(n + p) == a(n + 1) (mod p) for all primes p and for all nonnegative integers n.
%F If n = 1, then a(1 + p) == a(2) (mod p), that is, a(p + 1) == 3 (mod p).
%F If n = p, then a(p + p) == a(p + 1) (mod p), that is, a(2*p) == a(p + 1) (mod p).
