Abstract:

Let E be a set with n elements, and let T(n,k) be the number of all labeled topologies having k open sets that can be defined on E. In this paper, we compute these numbers for k ≤ 17, and arbitrary n, as well as tN0(n,k), the number of all unlabeled non-T0 topologies on E with k open sets, for 3 ≤ k ≤ 8.
