Jul 8, 2017 at 13:44 comment added Peter Heinig The "something more complicated" is the unique real solution of an equation $f(x)=0$ where $f$ in the relevant interval is a strictly monotone increasing Elementary function in the technical sense. This is perhaps getting too terminological, but: evaluating the average of the average of your function involves something like a function elementary relative to a non-algebraic equation.
Jul 8, 2017 at 13:36 comment added Peter Heinig Just to summarize a bit, and to draw attention to the interesting concept of averages of higher order: it seems that the average of the average of your function (the number defined above) can more or less routinely be calculated to a precision you perhaps did not expect. For example, it seems that said second-order-average can be expressed "in terms" of elementary functions, and hence numerical approximation can be calculated to very many digits of accuracy. (But: something more complicated than "elementary functions" in the contemporary technical sense is involved.)

Jul 4, 2017 at 19:32 comment added Peter Heinig Conjecture (modulo details that I do not have time to write out): if $\mathrm{L}(G)$ denotes your function, and if $\mathcal{P}_n:= \text{set of all labelled planar graphs with n vertices}$, then $\frac{1}{\lvert\mathcal{P}_n\rvert}\sum_{G\in\mathcal{P}_n}\frac{\mathrm{L}(G)}{\lvert E(G)\rvert} \sim_{n\to\infty} 4.42652 + o(1)$.
Jul 4, 2017 at 18:26 comment added Peter Heinig Just in the unlikely case that you are not aware of it and that in your work you need to know more about degree-distributions of planar graphs: it might be useful to have a look at the recent work of Drmota, Gimenez, and Noy. For example: arXiv:0911.4331v1
