Formula

Number of minimal m-covers of a labeled n-set that cover k points of that set uniquely is C(n, k)*S(k, m)*(2^m-m-1)^(n-k), where S(k, m) are Stirling numbers of the second kind.

Example

[1], [156, 15], [14196, 2730, 140], [984256, 283920, 29120, 1050], ...; there are 15 minimal 5-covers of a labeled 6-set that cover 6 points of that set uniquely.
