%N Number of nonisomorphic systems enumerated by A102897; that is, the number of inequivalent Horn functions, under permutation of variables.

%C When speaking of inequivalent Boolean functions, three groups of symmetries are typically considered: Complementations only, the Abelian group (2,...,2) of 2^n elements; permutations only, the symmetric group of n! elements; or both complementations and permutations, the octahedral group of 2^n n! elements. In this case only symmetry with respect to the symmetric group is appropriate because complementation affects the property of being a Horn function.

%C Also the number of non-isomorphic sets of subsets of {1..n} that are closed under union. - _Gus Wiseman_, Aug 04 2019

%F a(n) = 2 * A193674(n).

%e From _Gus Wiseman_, Aug 04 2019: (Start)

%e Non-isomorphic representatives of the a(0) = 2 through a(2) = 10 sets of sets:

%e {} {} {}

%e {{}} {{}} {{}}

%e {{1}} {{1}}

%e {{},{1}} {{1,2}}

%e {{},{1}}

%e {{},{1,2}}

%e {{2},{1,2}}

%e {{},{2},{1,2}}

%e {{1},{2},{1,2}}

%e {{},{1},{2},{1,2}}

%e (End)

%Y The covering case is A326907.

%Y The case without {} is A193674.

%Y The labeled version is A102897.

%Y The same with intersection instead of union is also A193675.

%Y The case closed under both union and intersection also is A326908.
