We call a set A A a good set if it has the following properties: 1. A A consists circles in plane. 2. No two element of A A intersect. Let A,B A,B be two good sets. We say A,B A,B are equivalent if we can reach from A A to B B by moving circles in A A, making them bigger or smaller in such a way that during these operations each circle does not intersect with other circles. Let an a_{n} be the number of inequivalent good subsets with n n elements. For example a_{1}\equal{} 1,a_{2}\equal{} 2,a_{3}\equal{} 4,a_{4}\equal{} 9. http://i5.tinypic.com/4r0x81v.png If there exist a,b a,b such that AananBbn Aa^{n}\leq a_{n}\leq Bb^{n}, we say growth ratio of an a_{n} is larger than a a and is smaller than b b. a) Prove that growth ratio of an a_{n} is larger than 2 and is smaller than 4. b) Find better bounds for upper and lower growth ratio of an a_{n}.
