Given a simple graph, the degree sequence maps each vertex to the valence or degree of that vertex.

FORMULA
There is an explicit formula and e.g.f.
E.g.f.: (sqrt((1-LambertW(-x))/(1+LambertW(-x)))-LambertW(-x)/x)*exp(-LambertW(-x)^2/2)/2. - Vladeta Jovovic, Jun 21 2007
a(n) ~ Gamma(3/4) * n^(n-1/4) / (2^(3/4) * exp(1/2) * sqrt(Pi)) * (1 - 11*Pi/(24*Gamma(3/4)^2*sqrt(n))). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 09 2013
EXAMPLE
1 + x + 2*x^2 + 8*x^3 + 54*x^4 + 533*x^5 + 6944*x^6 + 111850*x^7 + 2135740*x^8 + ...
a(3)=8 because we have: {0, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 1}, {1, 0, 1}, {1, 1, 0}, {1, 1, 2}, {1, 2, 1}, {2, 1, 1}, {2, 2, 2}. - Geoffrey Critzer, Aug 24 2016
MATHEMATICA
max = 18; w = ProductLog; f[x_] := (Sqrt[(1 - w[-x])/(1 + w[-x])] - w[-x]/x)*(Exp[-w[-x]^2/2]/ 2); CoefficientList[ Series[f[x], {x, 0, max}], x]*Range[0, max]! (* Jean-François Alcover, Dec 12 2011, after Vladeta Jovovic *)
PROG
(PARI) {a(n) = local(A, B, C); if( n<0, 0, A = sum( k=1, n, k^k * x^k / k!, x * O(x^n)); B = intformal( 1 + A); C = intformal( 1 / (1 - B)); n! * polcoeff( (1 + (1 - B) * sqrt(1 + 2*A)) / 2 * exp(C), n))} /* Michael Somos, Aug 19 2005 */
