%N Number of antichains covering n vertices where every two vertices appear together in some edge (cointersecting).

%C A set-system is a finite set of finite nonempty sets. Its elements are sometimes called edges, The dual of a set-system has, for each vertex, one edge consisting of the indices (or positions) of the edges containing that vertex. For example, the dual of {{1,2},{2,3}} is {{1},{1,2},{2}}. An antichain is a set of sets, none of which is a subset of any other. This sequence counts antichains with union {1..n} whose dual is pairwise intersecting.

%F Inverse binomial transform of A327057.

%e The a(0) = 1 through a(4) = 17 antichains:
