%N Number of labeled mating graphs with n nodes. Also called point-determining graphs.

%C A mating graph is one in which no two vertices have identical adjacencies with the other vertices. - Ronald C. Read and _Vladeta Jovovic_, Feb 10 2003

%C Also number of (n-1)-node labeled mating graphs allowing loops and without isolated nodes. - _Vladeta Jovovic_, Mar 08 2008

%F a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} Stirling1(n, k)*2^binomial(k, 2). - Ronald C. Read and _Vladeta Jovovic_, Feb 10 2003

%F E.g.f.: Sum_{n>=0} 2^(n(n-1)/2)*log(1+x)^n/n!. - _Paul D. Hanna_, May 20 2009

%e Consider the square (cycle of length 4) on vertices 1, 2, 3 and 4 in that order. Join a fifth vertex (5) to vertices 1, 3 and 4. The resulting graph is not a mating graph since vertices 1 and 3 both have the set {2, 4, 5} as neighbors. If we delete the edge (1,5) then the resulting graph is a mating graph: the neighborhood sets for vertices 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are respectively {2,4}, {1,3}, {2,4,5}, {1,3,5} and {3,4} - all different.

%t a[n_] := Sum[StirlingS1[n, k] 2^Binomial[k, 2], {k, 0, n}];
