Also, the number of n X n distinct rooted fuzzy matrices.
The number of chains in the power set of n^2-elements such that the first term of the chains is either an empty set or a set of n^2-elements.
The number of chains in the collection of all binary (crisp or Boolean or logical) matrices of order n such that the first term of the chains is either null matrix or unit matrix.
