COMMENTS
An antichain is a finite set of finite sets, none of which is a subset of any other. It is covering if its union is {1..n}. The edge-sums are the sums of vertices in each edge, so for example the edge sums of {{1,3},{2,5},{3,4,5}} are {4,7,12}.
EXAMPLE
The a(2) = 1 through a(5) = 13 antichains:
{{1,2}} {{1,2,3}} {{1,2,3,4}} {{1,2,3,4,5}}
{{1,4},{2,3}} {{1,2,5},{1,3,4}}
{{2,4},{1,2,3}} {{1,3,5},{2,3,4}}
{{3,4},{1,2,4}} {{1,4,5},{2,3,5}}
{{1,4,5},{1,2,3,4}}
{{2,3,5},{1,2,3,4}}
{{2,4,5},{1,2,3,5}}
{{3,4,5},{1,2,4,5}}
{{1,5},{2,4},{1,2,3}}
{{2,5},{3,4},{1,2,4}}
{{3,5},{1,2,5},{1,3,4}}
{{4,5},{1,3,5},{2,3,4}}
{{1,4,5},{2,3,5},{1,2,3,4}}
