COMMENT

Let P(A) be the power set of an n-element set A. Then a(n) = the number of pairs of elements {x,y} of P(A) for which either 0) x and y are disjoint and for which either x is a subset of y or y is a subset of x, or 1) x and y are intersecting but for which x is not a subset of y and y is not a subset of x, or 2) x and y are intersecting and for which either x is a proper subset of y or y is a proper subset of x. - Ross La Haye (rlahaye(AT)new.rr.com), Jan 11 2008

FORMULA

1/2!*(4^n-3^n+2^n-1)
