COMMENTS

G_n = {V_n, E_n}, V_n = {v_1, v_2, ..., v_n}, E_n = {v_1v_2, v2_v_3, ..., v_{n-1}v_n, v_nv_1}

See the definition of "stroke" in A089243.

A partition of a graph G into strokes S_i must satisfy the following conditions, where H is a digraph on G:

o Union_{i} S_i = H

o i != j => S_i and S_j do not have a common edge

o i != j => S_i U S_j is not a directed path

o For all i, S_i is a dipath

FORMULA

a(n) = 2*(n-1) + 2^n.

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

EXAMPLE

Figure for G_4 : o-o-o-o-o Two vertices on both sides are the same.
