COMMENTS

Sequence is identical to the number of connected graphs on n edges (A002905), except for the term a(3). The three connected 3-edge graphs (P_4, K_3 and K_{1,3}) yield only two linegraphs because K_3 and K_{1,3} have isomorphic linegraphs. No other connected nonisomorphic graphs have isomorphic linegraphs.
