FORMULA
T(n, k) = b(n, k)-b(n-1, k); b(n, k) = coefficient of x^k in x^4/24*(Z(S_n; 12 + 4*x, 12 + 4*x^2, ...) + 8*Z(S_n; 3 + x, 3 + x^2, 12 + 4*x^3, 3 + x^4, 3 + x^5, 12 + 4*x^6, ...) + 6*Z(S_n; 6 + 2*x, 12 + 4*x^2, 6 + 2*x^3, 12 + 4*x^4, ...)
+ 3*Z(S_n; 4, 12 + 4*x^2, 4, 12 + 4*x^4, ...) + 6*Z(S_n; 2, 4, 2, 12 + 4*x^4, 2, 4, 2, 12 + 4*x^8, ...)), where Z(S_n; x_1, x_2, ..., x_n) is the cycle index of the symmetric group S_n of degree n.
EXAMPLE
[1], [3, 1], [10, 5, 2], [30, 21, 11, 3], [83, 75, 49, 18], ...; there are 5 minimal 4-covers of an unlabeled 6-set that cover 5 points of that set uniquely.
