%N Number of acyclic digraphs (or DAGs) with n labeled nodes.

%C Also the number of n X n real (0,1)-matrices with all eigenvalues positive. - Conjectured by _Eric W. Weisstein_, Jul 10 2003 and proved by McKay et al. 2003, 2004

%C Also the number of n X n real (0,1)-matrices with permanent equal to 1, up to permutation of rows/columns, cf. A089482. - _Vladeta Jovovic_, Oct 28 2009

%C Also the number of nilpotent elements in the semigroup of binary relations on [n]. - _Geoffrey Critzer_, May 26 2022

%C From _Gus Wiseman_, Jan 01 2024: (Start)

%C Also the number of sets of n nonempty subsets of {1..n} such that there is a unique way to choose a different element from each. For example, non-isomorphic representatives of the a(3) = 25 set-systems are:

%C {{1},{2},{3}}

%C {{1},{2},{1,3}}

%C {{1},{2},{1,2,3}}

%C {{1},{1,2},{1,3}}

%C {{1},{1,2},{2,3}}

%C {{1},{1,2},{1,2,3}}

%C These set-systems have ranks A367908, subset of A367906, for multisets A368101.

%C The version for no ways is A368600, any length A367903, ranks A367907.

%C The version for at least one way is A368601, any length A367902.

%F a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} (-1)^(n-k)*A046860(n,k) = Sum_{k=1..n} (-1)^(n-k)*k!*A058843(n,k). - _Vladeta Jovovic_, Jun 20 2008

%F Let E(x) = Sum_{n >= 0} x^n/(n!*2^C(n,2)). Then a generating function for this sequence is 1/E(-x) = Sum_{n >= 0} a(n)*x^n/(n!*2^C(n,2)) = 1 + x + 3*x^2/(2!*2) + 25*x^3/(3!*2^3) + 543*x^4/(4!*2^6) + ... (Stanley). Cf. A188457. - _Peter Bala_, Apr 01 2013

%F a(n) ~ n!*2^(n*(n-1)/2)/(M*p^n), where p = 1.488078545599710294656246... is the root of the equation Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n*p^n/(n!*2^(n*(n-1)/2)) = 0, and M = Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)*p^n/((n-1)!*2^(n*(n-1)/2)) = 0.57436237330931147691667... Both references to the article "Acyclic digraphs and eigenvalues of (0,1)-matrices" give the wrong value M=0.474! - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Dec 09 2013 [Response from _N. J. A. Sloane_, Dec 11 2013: The value 0.474 has a typo, it should have been 0.574. The value was taken from Stanley's 1973 paper.]

%F exp( Sum_{n >= 1} a(n)*x^n/n ) = 1 + x + 2*x^2 + 10*x^3 + 146*x^4 + 6010*x^5 + ... appears to have integer coefficients (cf. A188490). - _Peter Bala_, Jan 14 2016
