Two edges (a,b), (c,d) are nesting if a < c and b > d or a > c and b < d.
Also unsortable digraphs with vertices {1..n}, where a digraph is sortable if, when the edges are listed in lexicographic order, their targets are weakly increasing.
Also the number of semicrossing digraphs with vertices {1..n}, where two edges (a,b), (c,d) are semicrossing if a < c and b < d or a > c and b > d. For example, the a(2) = 4 semicrossing digraph edge-sets are:
{11,22}
{11,12,22}
{11,21,22}
{11,12,21,22}
EXAMPLE
The a(2) = 4 nesting digraph edge-sets:
{12,21}
{11,12,21}
{12,21,22}
{11,12,21,22}
