COMMENT

For n>2, maximal number of edges in critical strongly connected digraphs on n-1 vertices.

If Y is a 3-subset of an n-set X then, for n>=3, a(n) is the number of 2-subsets of X which have no exactly one element in common with Y. Also, if Y is a 3-subset of an n-set X then, for n>=4, a(n-3) is the number of (n-2)-subsets of X which have no exactly two elements in common with Y. - Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Dec 28 2007
