COMMENTS

Maximal number of subsets of an n-set such that the unions of any 3 distinct subsets are all distinct.

The concatenation of these vectors produces a 3-separable matrix.

a(13) >= 15. Here is a candidate solution: {1100100010000 0100010000011 0001101000001 0000000011001 1010000100001 0010100001010 0101000101000 0001000000000 0110001000100 0000110000100 0000001100010 1001000000110 0000000110100 0011010010000 1000011001000}. - Dmitry Kamenetsky, Sep 07 2017
