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”).

%N Number of different antimatroids on n labeled items.

%C See link for software to generate the sequence. The next item (for n=8) should be roughly 2^78 and seems hopeless without more mathematics.

%C Antimatroids are a subset of greedoids, usually defined either in terms of set systems, as David Eppstein does in his tree searches, or in terms of formal languages. The two are equivalent, as discussed in Kempner and Levit. - _Jonathan Vos Post_, Jun 20 2006
