COMMENTS
A bicolored graph on n labeled vertices, k of which are black, and (n-k) of which are white, can be represented as a k X (n-k) matrix, where the (i,j) entry is 1 if the i-th black vertex is adjacent to the j-th white vertex, and 0 otherwise. Then, the graph is tangled if (1) the matrix does not have any rows or columns of all 0's or all 1's; and (2) it is not possible to permute the rows of the matrix and the columns of the matrix to obtain a matrix of the form
[ A | J ]
[---+---]
[ 0 | B ]
where the top right block J consists of all 1's, and the bottom left block 0 consists of all 0's.

FORMULA
G.f.: T(x) = 1 - 2*x - 1/(1+B(x)), where B(x) is the g.f. for A049312.
EXAMPLE
The only tangled bicolored graph on 4 vertices (up to isomorphism) consists of 2 black vertices, 2 white vertices, and 2 edges, with each black vertex joined to a different white vertex.
