%N The number of labeled biconnected squaregraphs with perimeter 2*n.

%C Conjecture: The next terms are 23031395, 218862682, 2134993642, 21301755122, 216752986922, 2243977451994, 23590001630055, 251411579942151. - _Michael D. Weiner_, Apr 07 2016

%C Conjecture: a(n) is also the number of connected 3-noncrossing perfect matchings on [2n] (compare to A005700). - _Michael D. Weiner_, Jun 09 2017

%F G.f.: A(x) satisfies A(x*T(x)^2) = T(x)-1 where T(x) is the o.g.f. for A005700 (conjectured). - _Michael D. Weiner_, Jun 09 2017

%e [See A194090 for the definition of "labeled squaregraph".] For n=4 the a(4)=14 labeled biconnected squaregraphs of perimeter 8 are the straight tromino (with 4 labelings), the L tromino (with 8), and the square tetromino (with 2).
