%N Number of subsets S of {A007931(1), A007931(2), ..., A007931(n)} with the property that no element of S is a substring of any other.

%C These subsets form an independence system, also called an abstract simplicial complex.

%e For n = 5 the a(5) = 12 independent sets of {A007931(1), A007931(2), ..., A007931(5)} = {1, 2, 11, 12, 21} are:

%e 1) {};

%e 2) {1};

%e 3) {2};

%e 4) {2, 1};

%e 5) {11};

%e 6) {11, 2};

%e 7) {12};

%e 8) {12, 11};

%e 9) {21};

%e 10) {21, 11};

%e 11) {21, 12}; and

%e 12) {21, 12, 11}.

%e In each of these twelve sets, no string is a substring of any other. In particular, {12, 11, 2} is not an independent set because 2 is a substring of 12.
