FORMULA

a(n) = sum{m=0..infinity, binomial(m^2+n-1, n)/2^(m+1)}

G.f.: sum{m=0..infinity, (1-x)^(-m^2)/2^(m+1)}. Row sums of A120945. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Sep 25 2006

EXAMPLE

a(1)=3, the three graphs being (1 ->2), (2 ->1) and (1 ->1).

MAPLE

d:=proc(n) local m; sum(binomial(m^2+n-1, n)/2^(m+1), m=0..infinity); end;

MATHEMATICA

f[n_] := Sum[ Binomial[m^2 + n - 1, n]/2^(m + 1), {m, 0, Infinity}]; Table[ f[n], {n, 0, 15}] (from Robert G. Wilson v Mar 16 2005)
