Number of endofunctions on n points whose functional digraphs (with loops allowed) are nontrivially the directed sum of two or more digraphs of endofunctions.

Formula

a(n) = A001372(n) - A002861(n).

Example

a(0) = 0, as the null digraph is formally neither connected nor disconnected.
a(1) = 0, as the unique endofunction on one point is the identity function on one value and is connected.
a(2) = 1, as there are 3 endofunctions on two points, two of which are "prime endofunctions" and one of which is the direct sum of two copies of the unique endofunction on one point, namely two points-with-loops, or the identity function on two values; 3 - 2 = 1.
a(3) = A001372(3) - A002861(3) = 7 - 4 = 3.
a(4) = A001372(4) - A002861(4) = 19 - 9 = 10.
a(5) = A001372(5) - A002861(5) = 47 - 20 = 27.
a(6) = 130 - 51 = 79.
a(7) = 343 - 125 = 218.
a(8) = 951 - 329 = 622.
a(9) = 2615 - 862 = 1753.
a(10) = 7318 - 2311 = 5007.
