The term "labeled graph" when used without qualification means a graph with each node labeled differently (but arbitrarily), so that all nodes are considered
distinct for purposes of enumeration. The total number of (not necessarily
connected) labeled -node
graphs for ,
2, ... is given by 1, 2, 8, 64, 1024, 32768, ... (OEIS A006125;
illustrated above), and the numbers of connected labeled graphs on -nodes are given by the logarithmic
transform of the preceding sequence, 1, 1, 4, 38, 728, 26704, ... (OEIS A001187;
Sloane and Plouffe 1995, p. 19).
The numbers of graph vertices in all labeled graphs of orders , 2, ... are 1, 4, 24, 256, 5120, 196608, ... (OEIS A095340),
which the numbers of edges are 0, 1, 12, 192, 5120, 245760, ... (OEIS A095351),
