Unlabeled analog of A097237.
Primes in this sequence include: a(3) = 3, a(11) = 3049, a(19) = 2253941, a(22) = 25746467. Semiprimes in this sequence include: a(9) = 565 = 5 * 113, a(12) = 7066 = 2 * 3533, a(13) = 16199 = 97 * 167, a(14) = 37187 = 41 * 907, a(15) = 84887 = 11 * 7717, a(18) = 996818 = 2 * 498409, a(24) = 129342179 = 23 * 5623573, a(30) = 15783402471 = 3 * 5261134157. - Jonathan Vos Post, Jul 10 2005

FORMULA
G.f.: Product_{k>=1} 1/(1 - x^k)^(2^(k-1)-1). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jun 07 2018
a(n) ~ 2^n * exp(sqrt(2*n) - 5/4 + c) / (sqrt(2*Pi) * 2^(3/4) * n^(3/4)), where c = Sum_{k>=2} 1/(k*(2^k-1)*(2^k-2)) = 0.0927294481510243482503144824759369647388... - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 08 2018
EXAMPLE
Let * denote an unlabeled element.
Let : denote a delimiter between two levels of a hierarchy.
Let | denote a delimiter between two subhierarchies.
a(4) = 8 because we have *:*:*:*, ***:*, **:*:*, *:*|*:*, *:***, **:**, *:**:*, *:*:**.
MAPLE
SetSeqXSetU := [S, {S=Set(U), U=Sequence(V, card>=2), V=Set(Z, card>=1)}, unlabeled]; seq(count(SetSeqXSetU, size=j), j=0..30); #where x is an integer 1, 2, 3, ... # x=2 gives 2 levels per society.
MATHEMATICA
