Let us consider the collections T grouped based on the size of the set X=⋃U∈TU, which we can see also must be in T as long as T contains at least one set. This leads us to count the number of collections on a set of size at most 3 satisfying the desired property with the additional property that the entire set must be in the collection. Let Cn denote that number of such collections on a set of size n. Our answer will then be 1+(03)C0+(13)C1+(23)C2+(33)C3, with the additional 1 coming from the empty collection. Now for such a collection T on a set of n elements, consider the set I=⋂U∈TU. Suppose this set has size k. Then removing all these elements from consideration gives us another such collection on a set of size n−k, but now containing the empty set. We can see that for each particular choice of I, this gives a bijection to the collections on the set S to the collections on the set S−I. This leads us to consider the further restricted collections that must contain both the entire set and the empty set. It turns out that such restricted collections are a well-studied class of objects called topological spaces. Let Tn be the number of topological spaces on n elements. Our argument before shows that Cn= ∑k=0n(kn)Tk. It is relatively straightforward to see that T0=1,T1=1, and T2=4. For a set of size 3 , there are the following spaces. The number of symmetric versions is shown in parentheses. - ∅,{a,b,c}(1) - ∅,{a,b},{a,b,c}(3) - ∅,{a},{a,b,c}(3) - ∅,{a},{a,b},{a,b,c} (6) - ∅,{a},{b,c},{a,b,c} - ∅,{a},{a,b},{a,c},{a,b,c}(3) - ∅,{a},{b},{a,b}.{a,b,c}(3) - ∅,{a},{b},{a,b},{a,c},{a,b,c}(6) - ∅,{a},{b},{c},{a,b},{a,c},{b,c},{a,b,c} which gives T3=29. Tracing back our reductions, we have that C0=(00)T0=1,C1=(01)T0+(11)T1= 2, C2=(02)T0+(12)T1+(22)T2=7,C3=(03)T0+(13)T1+(23)T2+(33)T3=45, and then our answer is 1+(03)C0+(13)C1+(23)C2+(33)C3=1+1+6+21+45=74.
