COMMENTS
Here, a path graph is a connected graph with no cycles such that each node has degree at most two.

FORMULA
G.f.: Product_{i>=1} 1/(1-x^i)^(2^(i-1)+2^(floor((i+1)/2)-1)).
EULER transform of A005418.
EXAMPLE
a(3) = 16 because we have:
w w w; w w b; w b b; b b b;
w w-w; w w-b; w b-b; b w-w; b w-b; b b-b;
w-w-w; w-w-b; w-b-w; b-w-b; b-b-w; b-b-b, where the 2 colors are black b and white w.
MAPLE
with(numtheory):
a:= proc(n) option remember; `if`(n=0, 1, add(add(d*(2^(d-1)+
2^(floor((d+1)/2)-1)), d=divisors(j))*a(n-j), j=1..n)/n)
end:
seq(a(n), n=0..30); # Alois P. Heinz, Sep 27 2012
