%N Number of chains of 2-element subsets of {0,1, 2, ..., n} that contain no consecutive integers.
%C For n >= 1, a(n) is the number of chains of binary reflexive symmetric matrices of order n.
%C The number of chains of strictly upper triangular or strictly lower triangular matrices.
%C Also, number of chains in power set of (n^2-n)/2 elements.
%C a(n) is the number of distinct reflexive symmetric fuzzy matrices of order n.
