The Hausdorff metric defines a distance between sets. Using this distance we can define line segments with sets as endpoints. Create two sets from the vertices of the parts A and B of a complete bipartite graph K(6,n) (with n at least 2) missing one edge so that vertices that are connected by edges are the same Euclidean distance apart. This sequence gives the number of sets at each location on the line segment between A and B.
Number of {0,1} 6 X n (with n at least 2) matrices with one fixed zero entry and no zero rows or columns.
Take a complete bipartite graph K(6,n) (with n at least 2). This sequence gives the number of edge covers of the graph obtained from this K(6,n) graph after removing one edge.
