COMMENTS
The T_0 axiom states that the closure of {x} and {y} are different for distinct x and y.
A closure operator is strict if the empty set is closed.

FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} Stirling1(n,k) * A102894(k). - Andrew Howroyd, Apr 20 2020
EXAMPLE
The a(0) = 1 through a(2) = 3 set-systems of closed sets:
{{}} {{1},{}} {{1,2},{1},{}}
{{1,2},{2},{}}
{{1,2},{1},{2},{}}
CROSSREFS
The number of all strict closure operators is given in A102894.
For all T0 closure operators, see A334252.
For strict T1 closure operators, see A334255.
A strict closure operator which preserves unions is called topological, see A001035.
