%N BII-numbers of pairwise intersecting set-systems 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}}. This sequence gives all BII-numbers (defined below) of pairwise intersecting set-systems whose dual is also pairwise intersecting.

%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 set-system 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.

%e The sequence of all pairwise intersecting, cointersecting set-systems together with their BII-numbers begins:

%e 1: {{1}}

%e 2: {{2}}

%e 4: {{1,2}}

%e 5: {{1},{1,2}}

%e 6: {{2},{1,2}}
