The subgraph on nodes 1..n is a forest (no loops). Nodes L and R are both connected to some subset of 1..n and perhaps to each other. %C A138562 These are the graphs that can arise when one starts with a tree with m >= n+2 labeled nodes, some of which are colored blue, some are colored red and the remaining n nodes are uncolored. Then all the blue nodes are coalesced into a single node L and all the red nodes into a single node R. %F A138562 Although we have not written out all the details of the proof, it appears that a(n) ~ 2^n*n^(n-2). %e A138562 a(0) = 1: L--R. %e A138562 a(1) = 4: L--1--R, 1--L--R, L--R--1 and the 3-cycle L--1--R--L. %e A138562 a(2) = 38: the 14 examples shown in A138460 plus the same set with an edge joining L and R: 28 in all, plus the following 10 graphs, for a total of 38. %e A138562 ===== %e A138562 . 1 %e A138562 ./.. %e A138562 L---R (number = 2) %e A138562 .\.. %e A138562 . 2 %e A138562 ===== %e A138562 . 1 %e A138562 ./.. %e A138562 L---R (number = 2) %e A138562 .../ %e A138562 . 2 %e A138562 ===== %e A138562 . 1 %e A138562 ./|. %e A138562 L-|-R (number = 2) %e A138562 .\|. %e A138562 . 2 %e A138562 ===== %e A138562 . 1 %e A138562 ./|. %e A138562 L-|-R (number = 4) %e A138562 ..|. %e A138562 . 2 %e A138562 ===== %o A138562 (PARI) { a(n) = local(p,q,m); p=partitions(n); sum(j=1,#p, q=p[j]; m=vector(n); for(i=1,#q,m[q[i]]++); n! * prod(i=1,#q,q[i]^(q[i]-2)/q[i]!) / prod(i=1, #m,m[i]!) * (prod(i=1,#q,4^q[i]-1)*2 - 2^#q*prod(i=1,#q,2^q[i]-1) ) ) } [From Max Alekseyev] %Y A138562 Cf.
