FORMULA
a(n) = A003180(n) - A003180(n-1), for n >= 1. - Christian Sievers, Jul 22 2016
a(n) = 2 * A055621(n). - Gus Wiseman, Aug 05 2019
EXAMPLE
From Gus Wiseman, Aug 05 2019: (Start)
Non-isomorphic representatives of the a(0) = 2 through a(2) = 8 sets of subsets:
{} {{1}} {{1,2}}
{{}} {{},{1}} {{1},{2}}
{{},{1,2}}
{{2},{1,2}}
{{},{1},{2}}
{{},{2},{1,2}}
{{1},{2},{1,2}}
{{},{1},{2},{1,2}}
