%F G.f.: A(x) + (x/2-1)*A^2(x) + (x/2)*A(x^2), where A(x) is the g.f. for A108521.

%e For n=4, we have 1) a node with four neighbors, 2) two adjacent nodes with three neighbors each, 3) two adjacent nodes with two neighbors each, and 4) two adjacent nodes, one having two neighbors and the other three neighbors.
