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 Cardinality of the free modular lattice generated by two elements and a chain of length n.
%C If you choose to adjoin a top and a bottom element to each resulting lattice, you must add 2 to these cardinalities: see A137400.

%e When n = 0, the lattice consists of the two elements, their meet and their join, so a(0) = 4.
%e When n = 1, we get the free modular lattice generated by three elements, so a(1) = 28.
