Problem Statement

A set MM of positive integers is called connected if for any element xMx\in M at least one of the numbers x1,x+1x-1,x+1 is in MM. Let UnU_n be the number of the connected subsets of {1,2,,n}\{1,2,\ldots,n\}. a) Compute U7U_7; b) Find the smallest number nn such that Un2006U_n \geq 2006.
