The numbers of distinct graphical partitions corresponding to graphs on , 2, ... nodes are 0, 1, 2, 7, 20, 71, 240, 871, 3148, ...
(OEIS A095268).
A graphical partition of order is one for which the sum of degrees is . A -graphical partition only exists for even.
It is possible for two topologically distinct graphs to have the same degree
sequence, an example of which is illustrated above.
