%N Number of unlabeled nonseparable (or 2-connected) graphs (or blocks) with n nodes.
%C By definition, a(n) gives the number of graphs with zero cutpoints. - _Travis Hoppe_, Apr 28 2014
%C For n > 2, a(n) is also the number of simple biconnected graphs on n nodes. - _Eric W. Weisstein_, Dec 07 2021
%C This sequence follows R. W. Robinson's definition of a nonseparable graph which includes K_2 but not the singleton graph K_1. This definition is most suited to graphical enumeration. Other authors sometimes include K_1 as a block or exclude K_2 as not 2-connected. - _Andrew Howroyd_, Feb 26 2023
