%N Number of symmetric relations on n nodes.

%C Each node may or may not be related to itself.

%C Also the number of rooted graphs on n+1 nodes.

%C The 1-to-1 correspondence is as follows: Given a rooted graph on n+1 nodes, replace each edge joining the root node to another node with a self-loop at that node and erase the root node. The result is an undirected graph on n nodes which is the graph of the symmetric relation.

%C Also the number of the graphs with n nodes whereby each node is colored or not colored. A loop can be interpreted as a colored node. - _Juergen Will_, Oct 31 2011

%F Euler transform of A054921. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Oct 25 2018

%F Let G_{n+1,k} be the number of rooted graphs on n+1 nodes with k edges and let G_{n+1}(x) = Sum_{k=0..n(n+1)/2} G_{n+1,k} x^k. Thus a(n) = G_{n+1}(1). Let S_n(x_1, ..., x_n) denote the cycle index for Sym_n. (cf. the link in A000142).

%F Compute x_1*S_n and regard it as the cycle index of a set of permutations on n+1 points and find the corresponding cycle index for the action on the n(n+1)/2 edges joining those points (the corresponding "pair group"). Finally, by replacing each x_i by 1+x^i gives G_{n+1}(x). [Harary]

%F Example, n=2. S_2 = (1/2)*(x_1^2+x_2), x_1*S_2 = (1/2)*(x_1^3+x_1*x_2). The pair group is (1/2)*(x_1^2+x_1*x_2) and so G_3(x) = (1/2)*((1+x)^3+(1+x)*(1+x^2)) = 1+2*x+2*x^2+x^3; set x=1 to get a(2) = 6.

%F a(n) ~ 2^(n*(n+1)/2)/n! [McIlroy, 1955]. - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Dec 19 2016
