%N Smallest BII-number of a clutter (connected antichain) with n edges.

%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 (finite set of finite nonempty sets of positive integers) 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 A set-system is an antichain if no edge is a proper subset of any other.

%C For n > 1, a(n) appears to be the number whose binary indices are the first n terms of A018900.
