%N Number of sets in the geometry determined by the Hausdorff metric at each location between two sets defined by a complete bipartite graph K(5,n) (with n at least 3) missing two edges, where the two removed edges are not incident to the same vertex in the 5-point set but are incident to the same vertex in the other set.

%C Start with a complete bipartite graph K(5,n) with vertex sets A and B where |A| = 5 and |B| is at least 3. We can arrange the points in sets A and B such that h(A,B) = d(a,b) for all a in A and b in B, where h is the Hausdorff metric. The pair [A,B] is a configuration. Then a set C is between A and B at location s if h(A,C) = h(C,B) = h(A,B) and h(A,C) = s. Call a pair ab, where a is in A and b is in B an edge. This sequence provides the number of sets between sets A' and B' at location s in a new configuration [A',B'] obtained from [A,B] by removing two edges, where the two removed edges are not incident to the same point in A but are incident to the same point in B. So this sequence tells the number of sets at each location on the line segment between A' and B'.

%C Number of {0,1} 5 X n matrices (with n at least 3) with two fixed zero entries in the same column and no zero rows or columns.

%C Take a complete bipartite graph K(5,n) (with n at least 3) having parts A and B where |A| = 5. This sequence gives the number of edge covers of the graph obtained from this K(5,n) graph after removing two edges, where the two removed edges are not incident to the same vertex in A but are incident to the same vertex in B.
