%e For n=2, a(2)=4, since if you have two sets of identical triples the A-brothers and the B-sisters, and you want to arrange them into a multiset of nonempty sets, where no one is allowed to cohabitate with his or her sibling, the following are possible 1.{{AB},{AB},{AB}} 2.{{AB},{AB},{A},{B}} 3.{{AB},{A},{A},{B},{B}} 4.{{A},{A},{A},{B},{B},{B}}.

%p Do SeqBrn(3,n); in the Maple package BABUSHKAS (see links) where n+1 is the number of desired terms.

%Y Row 3 of A188392.

%Y Cf. A000110 (unicoverings), A020554 (bicoverings).

%K nonn
