%N Number of T_0-covers of a labeled n-set.

%C A cover of a set is a T_0-cover if for every two distinct points of the set there exists a member (block) of the cover containing one but not the other point.

%C From _Gus Wiseman_, Aug 13 2019: (Start)

%C A set-system is a finite set of finite nonempty sets. The dual of a set-system has, for each vertex, one edge consisting of the indices (or positions) of the edges containing that vertex. For example, the dual of {{1,2},{2,3}} is {{1},{1,2},{2}}. The T_0 condition means that the dual is strict (no repeated edges). For example, the a(2) = 4 covers are:

%C {{1},{2}}

%C {{1},{1,2}}

%C {{2},{1,2}}

%C {{1},{2},{1,2}}
