%F a(n) = A001349(n) - A363362(n).

%F a(n) = 0 for n <= 5, because all graphs on at most 5 nodes are weakly pancyclic.

%e There are a(6) = 4 not weakly pancyclic graphs on 6 nodes (all of them connected):

%e a cycle of length 6 with one additional edge (two different graphs);

%e the complete bipartite graph K_{3,3} with one edge removed;

%e K_{3,3}.

%Y Cf. A001349, A363362, A363364.
