%N Number of tangled bicolored graphs on n labeled vertices.

%C A bicolored graph on n labeled vertices, k of which are black, and (n-k) of which are white, can be represented as a k X (n-k) matrix, where the (i,j) entry is 1 if the i-th black vertex is adjacent to the j-th white vertex, and 0 otherwise. Then, the graph is tangled if (1) the matrix does not have any rows or columns of all 0's or all 1's; and (2) it is not possible to permute the rows of the matrix and the columns of the matrix to obtain a matrix of the form

%C [ A | J ]

%C [---+---]

%C [ 0 | B ]

%C where the top right block J consists of all 1's, and the bottom left block 0 consists of all 0's.

%F E.g.f.: T(x) = 2*e^(-x) - 1 - 1/B(x), where B(x) is the e.g.f. for A047863.

%e The only tangled bicolored graph on 4 vertices (up to isomorphism) consists of 2 black vertices, 2 white vertices, and 2 edges, with each black vertex joined to a different white vertex. Given 4 labels, there are 12 distinct ways of labeling the vertices, so a(4) = 1.

%t nmax = 19;

%t B[x_] = Sum[Exp[2^n x] x^n/n!, {n, 0, nmax}] + O[x]^nmax;

%t T[x_] = 2 Exp[-x] - 1 - 1/B[x] + O[x]^nmax;
