Former name: Number of n X n symmetric binary matrices with zero diagonal and no three-node loops x(i,j)*x(j,k)*x(k,i) = 1, i < j < k.

a(n) is the number of sign mappings X:([n] choose 2) -> {+,-} such that for any ordered 3-tuple a<b<c we have X(ab)X(ac)X(bc) not equal to +++. - Manfred Scheucher, Jan 05 2024

FORMULA
a(n) ~ c * 2^(n^2/4+n-1/2)/sqrt(Pi*n), where c = Sum_{k = -oo..oo} 2^(-k^2) = EllipticTheta[3, 0, 1/2] = 2.128936827211877... if n is even and c = Sum_{k = -oo..oo} 2^(-(k+1/2)^2) = EllipticTheta[2, 0, 1/2] = 2.12893125051302... if n is odd. - Mehdi Naima, Jun 05 2026 [Editor note: Current data do not permit a numerical reconstruction of the asymptotic formula at this time (Vaclav Kotesovec). However, for small values, the number of triangle-free graphs that are not bipartite may differ substantially from those for larger values (Mehdi Naima).]
