Problem Statement

Denote by gng_n the number of connected graphs of degree nn whose vertices are labeled with numbers 1,2,...,n1,2,...,n. Prove that gn(12).2n(n1)2g_n \ge (\frac{1}{2}).2^{\frac{n(n-1)}{2}}. Note:If you prove that for c<12c < \frac{1}{2}, gnc.2n(n1)2g_n \ge c.2^{\frac{n(n-1)}{2}}, you will earn some point!
