Comments

A 2-multigraph is similar to an ordinary graph except there are 0, 1 or 2 edges between any two nodes (self-loops are not allowed).

Also nonisomorphic relations on 3-state logic.

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{1*s_1+2*s_2+...=n} (fixA[s_1, s_2, ...]/ (1^s_1*s_1!*2^s_2*s_2!*...)) where fixA[s_1, s_2, ...] = 3^Sum_{i, j>=1} (gcd(i,j)*s_i*s_j).
