COMMENTS

Here G_n = {V_n, E_n}, V_n = {v_1, v_2,..., v_n}, E_n = {e_1, e_2, ..., e_{n-1}, f_1, f_2, ..., f_{n-1}}. For all i, e_i = f_i = v_iv_{i+1}

Given an undirected graph G=(V,E), its partition into strokes is a collection of directed edge-disjoint paths (viewed as sets of directed edges) on V such that (i) union of any two paths is not a path; (ii) union of corresponding undirected paths is E.

FORMULA

For n>4, a(n) = 11*a(n-1) - 24*a(n-3). - Max Alekseyev (maxale(AT)gmail.com), Sep 29 2007

G.f.: x*(2*x-1)*(6*x^2+3*x-1)/(1-11*x+24*x^3). - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Nov 14 2007

EXAMPLE
