Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Number of labeled digraphs (with self loops allowed) on [n] such that every strongly connected component of size at least 2 contains a vertex with a self loop.

%C The sequence gives a good lower bound for the number of convergent binary relations (A365534) which is only known for n <= 6.

%H E. de Panafieu and S. Dovgal, <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1903.09454">Symbolic method and directed graph enumeration</a>, arXiv:1903.09454 [math.CO], 2019.

%F Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n/(n!*2^binomial(n,2)) = 1/(E(x) @ exp(-(sm(x)-1+x))) where E(x) = Sum_{n>=0} x^n/(n!*2^binomial(n,2)), sm(x) = Sum_{n>=0} (2^n-1)*A003030(n)*x^n/n! and @ is the exponential Hadamard product (see Panafieu and Dovgal).

%e a(2) = 15 because there are 16 labeled digraphs with self loops on [2] and all of them are good except: [1->2,2->1].
