COMMENTS

Sequence found by reading the line from 0, in the direction 0, 9,... and the parallel line from 1, in the direction 1, 24,..., in the square spiral whose vertices vertices are the generalized enneagonal numbers A118277. Also sequence found by reading the same lines in the square spiral whose edges have length A195019 and whose vertices are the numbers A195020. - Omar E. Pol, Sep 10 2011

Number of ordered pairs of integers (x,y) with abs(x) < n, abs(y) < n and x+y <= n. [Reinhard Zumkeller, Jan 23 2012]
