COMMENTS
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}}. This sequence counts pairwise intersecting set-systems that are cointersecting, meaning their dual is pairwise intersecting.
FORMULA
Binomial transform of A327037.
EXAMPLE
The a(0) = 1 through a(2) = 6 set-systems:
{} {} {}
{{1}} {{1}}
{{2}}
{{1,2}}
{{1},{1,2}}
{{2},{1,2}}
The a(3) = 34 set-systems:
{} {{1}} {{1}{12}} {{1}{12}{123}} {{1}{12}{13}{123}}
{{2}} {{1}{13}} {{1}{13}{123}} {{2}{12}{23}{123}}
{{3}} {{2}{12}} {{12}{13}{23}} {{3}{13}{23}{123}}
{{12}} {{2}{23}} {{2}{12}{123}} {{12}{13}{23}{123}}
{{13}} {{3}{13}} {{2}{23}{123}}
{{23}} {{3}{23}} {{3}{13}{123}}
{{123}} {{1}{123}} {{3}{23}{123}}
