Irreducible means not made disconnected by removal of a vertex (no nugatory crossings).
Indecomposable (or prime) means not made disconnected by cutting two disjoint lines.
From Robert Coquereaux and Andrey Zabolotskiy, Nov 30 2021: (Start)
Equivalently, the number of projections of prime alternating knots with n crossings, or prime knot shadows.
This sequence up to n = 10 was known to Kirkman (1885) and confirmed by Little (1890). The terms up to n = 14 are given by Hoste et al. (1994) and independently found by J. Bétréma using his program.
A 1999 unpublished result by J. Hoste gives a(15) = 864127, a(16) = 4463287, a(17) = 23415443. J. Bétréma's program gives the same a(16) but different a(15) = 864590. (End)
Using plantri I find a(15) = 864590, agreeing with Bétréma. - Brendan McKay, Mar 13 2023
