A theorem now known as Sperner's Lemma [5] states that a largest collection of subsets of an n-element set such that no subset contains another is obtained by taking the collection of all the subsets with cardinal [n/2\. (We denote by |*J, resp. [*], the largest integer less than or equal to x, resp. the smallest integer greater than or equal to x.) In other words, the density of a largest antichain in the set of all subsets of an w-element set is
