Here "weakly graded" means that there is a rank function rk from the vertices to the integers such that whenever x covers y we have rk(x) = rk(y) + 1. Alternate terminology includes "graded" and "ranked." A poset is said to be (3+1)-free if it does not contain four vertices a, b, c, d such that a < b < c and d is incomparable to the other three.

FORMULA
G.f. is W(e^x, Psi(x)) where W(x, y) = (1 - x)y/x + (2x^3 + (x^3 - 2x^2)y)/(2x^2 + x + (x^2 - 2x - 1)y) and Psi(x) is the GF for A047863.
MATHEMATICA
m = maxExponent = 19;
Psi[x_] = Sum[E^(2^n x) x^n/n!, {n, 0, m}] + O[x]^m;
W[x_, y_] = (1-x)y/x + (2x^3 + (x^3 - 2x^2)y)/(2x^2 + x + (x^2-2x-1) y);
