Example

Let : denote the separation between two subhierarchies, e.g. 2:3 are two subhierarchies where subhierarchy s=1 contains two elements and subhierarchy s=2 contains three elements. Let | denote the separation between two levels, e.g. 2|2|1 is a hierarchy composed of three levels with two elements on levels l=1 and l=2 and one element on level l=3. For n=5 one has a(5) = 12 hierarchies where at least one subhierarchy has exactly 3 levels (and no level l > 3 is allowed):
3|1|1; 1|3|1; 1|1|3; 2|2|1; 2|1|2; 1|2|2; 1|1|1:2; 1|1|1:1:1; 1|1|1:1|1;
2|1|1:1; 1|2|1:1; 1|1|2:1.
