FORMULA

c_n = 1 + Sum_{k=1}^{n-2} {n choose k} ( t_{n-k} - c_{n-k} ) where c_n is the number of connected graphs of this type and t_n is the total number of such graphs.

E.g.f.: -LambertW(exp(-x)-1). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Nov 22 2002

a(n) is asymptotic to sqrt(r*(e-1))/n*(n/e/r)^n where r=1-log(e-1)

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} Stirling2(n, k)*A060356(k). Also a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} (-1)^(n-k)*Stirling2(n, k)*k^(k-1). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Sep 17 2003
