COMMENTS
A hypergraph is a T_0 hypergraph if for every two distinct nodes there exists a hyperedge containing one but not the other node.
FORMULA
Row sums of A059087.
a(n) = A059085(n)/2.
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} stirling1(n, k)*2^((2^k)-1).
EXAMPLE
There are 108 labeled 3-node T_0-hypergraphs without multiple hyperedges (empty hyperedge excluded): 12 with 2 hyperedges, 32 with 3 hyperedges,35 with 4 hyperedges, 21 with 5 hyperedges, 7 with 6 hyperedges and 1 with 7 hyperedges.
MAPLE
