Labeled Graph
A labeled graph
is a finite series of graph
vertices
with a set of graph
edges
of 2-subsets
of
. Given a graph vertex
set
, the number of vertex-labeled graphs
is given by
. Two graphs
and
with graph
vertices
are said to be isomorphic
if there is a permutation
of
such that
is in the set of graph
edges
iff
is in the set of graph
edges
.
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),
the latter of which has closed-form
