%N A102897 Number of ACI algebras (or semilattices) on n generators.
%C A102897 Also counts Horn functions on n variables, boolean functions whose set
of truth assignments are closed under 'and', or equivalently, the
boolean functions that can be written as a conjunction of Horn clauses,
clauses with at most one negative literal.
%C A102897 Also, number of families of subsets of {1,...,n} that are closed under
intersection (because we can throw in the universe, or take it out,
without affecting anything else).
%C A102897 An ACI algebra or semilattice is a system with a single binary, idempotent,
commutative and associative operation.

%F A102897 a(n) = 2*A102896(n) = sum( C(n, k)*A102895, k=0..n), where C(n, k) is
the binomial coefficient
%F A102897 Asymptotically, log_2 a(n) ~ binomial(n, floor(n/2)) for all of A102894,
A102895, A102896 and this sequence [Alekseev; Burosch et al.]
%e A102897 a(2) = 14: Let the points be labeled a, b. We want the number of collections
of subsets of {a, b} which are closed under intersection. 0 subsets:
1 way ({}), 1 subset: 4 ways (0; a; b; ab), 2 subsets: 5 ways (0,
a; 0,b; 0,ab; a,ab; b,ab) [not a,b because their intersection, 0,
would be missing], 3 subsets: 3 ways (0,a,b; 0,a,ab; 0,b,ab), 4 subsets:
1 way (0,a,b,ab), for a total of 14.
