COMMENTS
Let A be a binary relation on [n]. Let M(A) be the unique maximal subset of [n] such that A restricted to M is nilpotent. Then a(n) is the number of relations on [n] such that M is the empty set.
FORMULA
E.g.f.: A(x)/B(x) where A(x) is the e.g.f. for A002416 and B(x) is the e.g.f. for A003024.
EXAMPLE
a(2)=11 because all 16 binary relations on [2] have the desired property except these 5: {{0, 0}, {0, 0}}, {{0, 0}, {0, 1}}, {{0, 0}, {1, 0}},
{{0, 1}, {0, 0}}, {{1, 0}, {0, 0}}.
