Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A108798
Number of nonisomorphic systems enumerated by A102894; that is, the number of inequivalent closure operators in which the empty set is closed. Also, the number of union-closed sets with n elements that contain the universe and the empty set.
