Number of Connected simple graphs with n vertices

760 Views Asked by At

Is there a relation between numbers of simple graphs and simple connected graphs on n vertices? After observing n=1,2,3,4...., I noticed that the number of connected graphs is at least half of the total number of simple graphs. How can we prove that?

For the part where you asked for Number of Simple Graphs with N vertices I will refer you to a proof in this link as it has been answered here.

Show that the number of simple graphs with $n$ vertices is $2^{{n}\choose{2}}$

The number of nonisomorphic simple graphs is A88 and the number of connected simple graphs is A1349 in the OEIS. They are related by the Euler transform; this is a special case of the Multiset Transformation, which means the not necessarily connected graphs are multisets of the connected graphs.
