Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A001174
Number of oriented graphs (i.e., digraphs with no bidirected edges) on n unlabeled nodes. Also number of complete digraphs on n unlabeled nodes. Number of antisymmetric relations (i.e., oriented graphs with loops) on n unlabeled nodes is A083670.
