%N Number of antichains covering a subset of {1..n} where every two covered 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 whose dual is pairwise intersecting.

%F Binomial transform of A327020.

%e The a(0) = 1 through a(3) = 9 antichains:

%e {} {} {} {}

%e {{1}} {{1}} {{1}}

%e {{2}} {{2}}

%e {{1,2}} {{3}}

%e {{1,2}}

%e {{1,3}}

%e {{2,3}}

%e {{1,2,3}}

%e {{1,2},{1,3},{2,3}}

%Y Antichains are A000372.

%Y The BII-numbers of these set-systems are the intersection of A326704 and A326853.

%Y The covering case is A327020.

%Y Cointersecting set-systems are A327039.
