%N The number of idempotents in the Brauer monoid on [1..n].

%C The Brauer monoid is the set of partitions on [1..2n] with classes of size 2 and multiplication inherited from the partition monoid, which contains the Brauer monoid as a subsemigroup. The multiplication is defined in Halverson & Ram.

%C These numbers were produced using the Semigroups (2.0) package for GAP 4.7.

%C No general formula is known for the number of idempotents in the Brauer monoid.
