Comments

There are 6 basic underlying simple graphs on 4 vertices: the linear chain with 3 edges (a tree), the star graph with 3 edges (a tree), the 4-cycle (quadrangle) with 4 edges, the triangle extended with one edge protruding to a vertex of degree 1 (4 edges), the complete graph on 4 vertices with 6 edges, a graph with 5 edges (removing one from the complete graph).

Formula

G.f.: -x^3*(x^10-x^9-2*x^7+x^6-x^5+3*x^4-x^2-x-2)/( (x-1)^6 *(1+x)^2 *(1+x^2) *(1+x+x^2)^2 ). - R. J. Mathar, Aug 11 2017

Example

There are a(3) = 2 connected graphs of 3 edges and 4 vertices, the A000055(4) = 2 trees on 4 vertices.
There are a(4)=5 connected graphs of 4 edges and 4 vertices: duplicate either the middle or a sided edge of the linear chain, duplicate an edge of the star graph, or take any of the two underlying simple graphs with 4 edges.
