A050365 a(n) is the number of ways to write n as an identity mterm, where an identity mterm is an unordered sum which is either 2, or 1 + an unordered product of distinct identity mterms. 4

COMMENTS
P. Freyd (see link) writes: "Bower’s sequence A050365 can be interpreted to count the number of anti-symmetric elhsls (and elhas), ... those for which all automorphisms are one." Here 'elha' stands for 'equationally linear Heyting algebra' and 'elhsl' means 'equationally linear Heyting semi-lattice'. Then Freyd gives another interpretation and coins the name Bower-rank. "For a set of finite rank we may define its Bower-rank as the first ordinal larger than the product of the Bower-ranks of its elements. Then A050365 counts the number of sets of given Bower-rank." - Peter Luschny, Nov 13 2018

FORMULA
Shifts left under transform T where Ta has Dirichlet g.f. Product_{n>=1}(1+1/n^s)^a(n).
EXAMPLE
The different ways of writing the numbers 2 through 7 as identity mterms are:
2 = 2,
3 = 1 + 2,
4 = 1 + (1+2),
5 = 1 + (1+1+2),
6 = 1 + (1+1+1+2),
7 = 1 + (1+1+1+1+2) = 1 + 2*(1+2).
