Comments

Since the nontrivial 9-regular graph with the least number of vertices is K_10, there are no disconnected 9-regular graphs with less than 20 vertices. Thus for n<20 this sequence also gives the number of all 9-regular graphs on 2n vertices. - Jason Kimberley, Sep 25 2009

Formula

a(n) = A184993(n) + A181170(n).

Example

The null graph on 0 vertices is vacuously connected and 9-regular; since it is acyclic, it has infinite girth. - Jason Kimberley, Feb 10 2011
