FORMULA
The number of labeled 4-arch graphs with n>5 nodes is given by f(n,4,n-4-1,0,4) where f is the recursive function described by the PARI/GP code below.
PROG
(PARI) f(n, k, i, u, j)={ local(s=0); if (i==1, binomial(n-u, j)*binomial(u, k-j), for (c=0, min(k, n-(i-1)-(u+j)), s+=f(n, k, i-1, u+j, c) ); binomial(n-u, j)*binomial(u, k-j)*s ) }
