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”).

See A003319 for definition of connected component.
a(p) = A003319(p)+1 for all prime numbers, p.
FORMULA
O.g.f.: Sum_{n>0} 1/(1-A003319(n)*x^n).
EXAMPLE
a(4) = 15 because there are 13 connected permutations of {1,2,3,4} (these are counted by A003319) and 21/43 and 1/2/3/4.
MATHEMATICA
nn = 20; p = Sum[n! x^n, {n, 0, nn}]; i = 1 - 1/p; a = CoefficientList[Series[i, {x, 0, nn}], x]; s = Sum[1/(1 - a[[n + 1]] x^n), {n, 1, nn}]; Drop[ CoefficientList[Series[s, {x, 0, nn}], x], 1]
