Various authors have considered limpn provided it exists. It is convenient to distinguish three cases depending on the nature of the power series for the structures purely formal convergent on the circle of convergence and other. We determine all possible values for the pair liminf pn limsuppn in these cases. Only in the convergent case can one have 0 lim pn 1. We study the existence of lim pn in this case.

Introduction Throughout An will denote the number of structures of size n Cn will denote the number that are connected and pn Cn An whenever An 0. We consider two situations either the objects are labeled and the exponential generating functions are related by A x exp C x or the objects are unlabeled and the ordinary generating functions are related by A x exp C xk k 1 2 Perhaps the most interesting omissions are objects with noncrossing parts which lead to .
