%N The number of proper mergings of two n-antichains.

%C The number of proper mergings of an n-antichain and an m-antichain can be computed with the following formula: a(m,n)=Sum_{i+j+k=m} m!/(i!j!k!)*(-1)^k*(2^i+2^j-1)^n.

%F a(n)=Sum_{i+j+k=n}{n!/(i!j!k!)*(-1)^k*(2^i+2^j-1)^n}.

%F limit n->infinity a(n)/(2^(n^2))=2 [From _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Aug 23 2012]

%e For n=1, the a(1)=3 proper mergings of two 1-antichains ({a},{}) and ({b},{}) are the following three posets: ({a,b},{}), ({a,b},{(a,b)}), ({a,b},{(b,a)}).
