Comments

The e.g.f. for this sequence is the logarithm of the e.g.f. for the sequence of all 4-regular labeled graphs on n nodes (see A005815), using Wilf's exponential formula.

Formula

E.g.f.: log(1+x-(1/3)*x^2-(1/6)*x^3)^(-1/2)*hypergeom([1/4, 3/4],[],-12*x*(x+2)*(x-1)/(x^3+2*x^2-6*x-6)^2)*exp(-x*(x^2-6)/(8*x+16))).

Maple

egf := log((1+x-(1/3)*x^2-(1/6)*x^3)^(-1/2)*hypergeom([1/4, 3/4], [], -12*x*(x+2)*(x-1)/(x^3+2*x^2-6*x-6)^2)*exp(-x*(x^2-6)/(8*x+16)));
ser := convert(series(egf, x=0, 40), polynom):
seq(coeff(ser, x, i)*i!, i=0..degree(ser));

Mathematica

g[x_] := Log[(Exp[x*(6-x^2)/8/(2+x)]* HypergeometricPFQ[{1/4, 3/4}, {}, ((12 (1-x) * x *(2 + x))/(x^3 + 2*x^2 - 6*x - 6)^2)])/ Sqrt[1 + x - x^2/3 - x^3/6]]; Rest[ CoefficientList[ Series[g[x], {x, 0, 30}], x]* Range[0, 30]!] (* Giovanni Resta, May 09 2016 *)
