    $\begingroup$ in the fifth talk in this list it is conjectured order $\log(n)\log(n−1)\dots \log(2)$ facstaff.unca.edu/pbahls/GGGstuff/2008/… $\endgroup$ May 31, 2011 at 8:44
  • $\begingroup$ Nice, thanks. I guess I had thought there would be a closed formula! $\endgroup$

An efficient algorithm is described in a paper by Michael Adamaszek which is powerful enough to count the number of graceful labelings of paths up to length 40. It concludes: "It also remains an open question to find an exponential upper bound on [the number of graceful labelings of paths of length n]"
