COMMENTS

These are simple connected graphs with n+2 nodes labeled L, R, 1, 2, ..., n. The subgraph on nodes 1..n is a forest (no loops). Nodes L and R are both connected to some subset of 1..n but not to each other.

FORMULA

Although we have not written out all the details of the proof, it appears that a(n) ~ 2^n*n^(n-2).

EXAMPLE

a(1) = 1: L--1--R.

a(2) = 14:

L . R (number = 4)

.\..

=====

. 1

./|\

L | R (number = 1)

PROG

(PARI) { a(n) = local(p, q, m); p=partitions(n); sum(j=1, #p, q=p[j]; m=vector(n); for(i=1, #q, m[q[i]]++); n! * prod(i=1, #q, q[i]^(q[i]-2)/q[i]!) / prod(i=1, #m, m[i]!) * (prod(i=1, #q, 4^q[i]-1)-2^#q*prod(i=1, #q, 2^q[i]-1) ) ) } [From Max Alekseyev]
