COMMENTS
Also, the number of unlabeled connected bicolored graphs having n nodes; the color classes may be interchanged. - Robert W. Robinson
Also, for n>1, number of connected triangle-free graphs on n nodes with chromatic number 2. - Keith Briggs, Mar 21 2006 (cf. A116079).
Also, first diagonal of triangle in A126736.
EULER transform of [1, 1, 1, 3, 5, 17, ...] is A033995 [1, 2, 3, 7, 13, ...]. - Michael Somos, May 13 2019

FORMULA
a(2*n+1) = A318870(2*n+1)/2, a(2*n) = (a(n) + A318869(n) + A318870(2*n) - A318870(n))/2. - Andrew Howroyd, Sep 04 2018
