Equivalently a(n) is the number of labeled simple graphs on n nodes having n-1 edges that have at least two connected components.
Evidently almost all such graphs are disconnected.

Examples

			a(4) = 4 because there are 20 labeled simple graphs on four nodes with three edges but 16 of these are connected i.e. they are trees.

Formula

a(n) = C(C(n,2),n-1) - n^(n-2) = A014068(n-1)-A000272(n), where C(x,y) is the binomial coefficient.
