COMMENTS

A set system (set of sets) is an antichain if no edge is a subset of any other, and is intersecting if no two edges are disjoint.

LINKS

Table of n, a(n) for n=0..8.

FORMULA

a(n) = A326375(n) - 1.

a(n) = A001206(n+1) + A307249(n) - A014466(n). - Andrew Howroyd, Aug 14 2019

EXAMPLE

The a(0) = 1 through a(4) = 28 intersecting antichains with empty intersection:
