%N BII-numbers of abstract simplicial complexes.

%C An abstract simplicial complex is a set of finite nonempty sets (edges) that is closed under taking a nonempty subset of any edge.

%C A binary index of n is any position of a 1 in its reversed binary expansion. The binary indices of n are row n of A048793. We define the set-system with BII-number n to be obtained by taking the binary indices of each binary index of n. Every finite set of finite nonempty sets has a different BII-number. For example, 18 has reversed binary expansion (0,1,0,0,1), and since the binary indices of 2 and 5 are {2} and {1,3} respectively, the BII-number of {{2},{1,3}} is 18. Elements of a set-system are sometimes called edges.

%C The enumeration of abstract simplicial complexes by number of covered vertices is given by A307249.
