COMMENT

If a 3-set Y and a 3-set Z, having one element in common, are subsets of an n-set X then a(n+2) is the number of 3-subests of X intersecting both Y and Z. - Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Oct 03 2007

Numbers n such that a(n)=2*a(n-1)-a(n-2)+1, with a(1)=3, a(2)=10. example: For n=3, a(3)=2*a(2)-a(1)+1=2*10-3+1=18; n=4, a(4)=27 [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Jan 22 2009]
