Comments

Maximum position in A072644 where the value n occurs.

Also partial sums of A058891, i.e. the first differences are there. - R. J. Mathar, May 15 2007

A binary index of n is any position of a 1 in its reversed binary expansion. The binary indices of n are row n of A048793. We define the set-system with BII-number n to be obtained by taking the binary indices of each binary index of n. Every finite set of finite nonempty sets has a different BII-number. For example, 18 has reversed binary expansion (0,1,0,0,1), and since the binary indices of 2 and 5 are {2} and {1,3} respectively, the BII-number of {{2},{1,3}} is 18. Then a(n) is the minimum BII-number of a set-system with n distinct vertices. - Gus Wiseman, Jul 24 2019
