Abstract: A threshold graph is any graph which can be constructed from the empty graph by repeatedly adding a new vertex that is either adjacent to every vertex or to no vertices. The Eulerian number genfraclangleangle0ptnk counts the number of permutations of size n with exactly k ascents. Implicitly Beissinger and Peled proved that the number of labeled threshold graphs on nge2 vertices is [sum_{k=1}^{n-1}(n-k)genfrac{langle}{ angle}{0pt}{}{n-1}{k-1}2^k.] Their proof used generating functions. We give a direct combinatorial proof of this result.
