COMMENTS
Conjecture: for odd values of n all vertices are simple, other than those defining the diameters of the circles. No formula for n, or only the odd values of n, is currently known.
The author thanks Zach Shannon some of whose code was used in the generation of this sequence.
If n is odd, the circle containing the initial n points is not part of the graph (compare A370976-A370979). - N. J. A. Sloane, Mar 25 2024
