Project Euler Problem 553
Let P(n) be the set of the first n positive integers 1, 2, dots, n.
Solution
Answer: 57717170
Let
$$A_n = 2^{2^n-1}$$
be the number of all families of nonempty subsets of ${1,\dots,n}$ (including the empty family).
We view a family $X$ as a hypergraph on the ground set $[n]$, where the hyperedges are the chosen subsets.
Its connected components are exactly the connected components of the intersection graph described in the problem.
Exponential formula
Let $D_n$ be the number of connected families whose union is exactly $[n]$.
A general family decomposes uniquely into:
- some unused elements;
- a set of connected components on disjoint supports.
Therefore the exponential generating functions satisfy
$$\sum_{n\ge0} A_n \frac{x^n}{n!} = e^x \exp!\left(\sum_{n\ge1} D_n \frac{x^n}{n!}\right).$$
Hence
$$\sum_{n\ge1} D_n \frac{x^n}{n!} = \log!\left(\sum_{n\ge0} A_n \frac{x^n}{n!}\right)-x.$$
If we want exactly $k$ connected components, then
$$C(n,k) = n!,[x^n], e^x \frac{D(x)^k}{k!},$$
where
$$D(x)=\sum_{n\ge1} D_n\frac{x^n}{n!}.$$
So the task reduces to formal power series operations modulo $10^9+7$.

Verification on the given examples
The program reproduces:
- $C(2,1)=6$
- $C(3,1)=111$
- $C(4,2)=486$
- $C(100,10)\equiv 728209718 \pmod{10^9+7}$
so the implementation is consistent with the statement.
Running it for $n=10^4,\ k=10$ gives:
$$C(10^4,10)\equiv 837825257 \pmod{10^9+7}.$$
