COMMENTS
Harary and Palmer give incorrect values for a(24) and a(25); the correct values are a(24) = 195692027657521876084316842660833482785173437775365039898624 and a(25) = 131326696677895002131450257709457767457170027052967027982788816896. - Vladeta Jovovic, Apr 08 2001
a(n) appears to be the number of even graphs with n vertices; see comment in A334335. - Pontus von Brömssen, May 05 2020 [This has been proved by Royle et al. 2023. - Pontus von Brömssen, Apr 06 2022]

FORMULA
Davis's formula: a(n) = Sum_{j} (1/(Product (k^(j_k) (j_k)!))) * 2^{t_j},
where j runs through all partitions of n into odd parts, say with j_1 parts of size 1, j_3 parts of size 3, etc.,
and t_j = (1/2)*[ Sum_{r=1..n, s=1..n} j_r j_s gcd(r,s) - Sum_{r} j_r ].
