COMMENTS

a(n) is also the number of isomorphism classes of connected 3-regular simple graphs of order 2n with possibly loops. - Nico Van Cleemput, Jun 04 2014
There are no graphs of order 2n+1 satisfying the condition above. - Natan Arie Consigli, Dec 20 2019

EXAMPLE
|
From Natan Arie Consigli, Dec 20 2019: (Start)
a(1) = 1: with two nodes the only viable option is the triple edged path multigraph.
a(2) = 4: with four nodes we have two cases: the tetrahedral graph and the square graph with single and double edges on opposite sides.
(End)
