%N Number of 4-colored labeled graphs on n nodes, divided by 4.

%C Sequence represents 1/4 of the number of 4-colored labeled graphs on n nodes. Indeed, on p. 413 of the Read paper, column 4 is 4, 28, 340, 7108, ... - _Emeric Deutsch_, May 06 2004

%F a(n) = (1/4)*Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n, k)*2^(k(n-k))*b(k), where b(0)=1 and b(k) = 3*A000685(k) for k > 0. - _Emeric Deutsch_, May 06 2004

%F From _Peter Bala_, Apr 12 2013: (Start)

%F a(n) = (1/4)*A223887(n).

%F a(n) = (1/4)*Sum_{k = 0..n} binomial(n,k)*2^(k*(n-k))*b(k)*b(n-k), where b(n) := Sum_{k = 0..n} binomial(n,k)*2^(k*(n-k)).

%F Let E(x) = Sum_{n >= 0} x^n/(n!*2^C(n,2)). Then a generating function for this sequence is (1/4)*(E(x)^4 - 1) = Sum_{n >= 0} a(n)*x^n/(n!*2^C(n,2)) = x + 7*x^2/(2!*2) + 85*x^3/(3!*2^3) + .... (End)

%t b[n_] := Sum[ 2^((i-j)*j + i*(n-i))*Binomial[n, i]*Binomial[i, j], {i, 0, n}, {j, 0, i}]; a[n_] := 1/4*Sum[ Binomial[n, k]*2^(k*(n-k))*b[k], {k, 0, n}]; Table[a[n], {n, 1, 14}] (* _Jean-François Alcover_, Dec 07 2011, after _Emeric Deutsch_ *)

%o (PARI)

%o N=66; x='x+O('x^N);

%o E=sum(n=0, N, x^n/(n!*2^binomial(n,2)) );
