%N Number of n-covers of a labeled n-set.

%C Also, number of n X n rational {0,1}-matrices with no zero rows or columns and with all rows distinct, up to permutation of rows.

%F a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k*binomial(n, k)*binomial(2^(n-k)-1, n).

%F a(n) = (1/n!)*Sum_{k=0..n} Stirling1(n+1, k+1)*(2^k-1)^n.

%F G.f.: Sum_{n>=0} log(1+(2^n-1)*x)^n/((1+(2^n-1)*x)*n!). - _Paul D. Hanna_ and _Vladeta Jovovic_, Jan 16 2008
