Alois P. Heinz, Table of n, a(n) for n = 3..86
FORMULA
T(m, n) = sum over the partitions 3K_3 + ... + nK_n of n, whose smallest part is 3, that have exactly m parts of pi{4 <= i <= n}binomial(f(i) + K_i - 1, K_i), where f(i) is A001429(i).
For example, T(3,12) = T(4,15) = 27. The partitions of 12 of the form 3K_3 + ... + nK_n satisfying the restrictions are 4*3, 5+4+3 and 6+3*2. With n = 15 they are 4*3+3, 5+4+3*2 and 6+3*3. The partitions of 12 can be used to count the graphs in both cases, i.e., n = 12 and n = 15.
The partition 4*3 corresponds to binomial(2+3-1, 3), or 4 graphs. The partition 5+4+3 gives binomial(5,1) * binomial(2,1) or 10 graphs. Lastly, 6+3*2 corresponds to 13 graphs. Note that f(3) = 1, f(4) = 2, f(5) = 5 and f(6) = 13.

Both the 5th and the 6th rows of table T begin with the same values, 1, 2, 8, 27, 94 and 315.
This happen since the number of graphs with n vertices and m components is equal to the number of graphs with n+3j vertices and m+j components, n >= 3, j >= 1.
So T(5,16) = T(6,19), T(5,17) = T(6,20), T(5,18) = T(6,21) etc.
In the sequence A138386 one can see the first terms of the m-th row of table T as m tends to infinity.
Parts equal to 3 do not change the values taken by the product in the formula since if i = 3, binomial(f(i) + K_i - 1, K_i) = binomial(1 + K_i - 1, Ki) = 1.
Because of that we take i >= 4 in the formula.
