%N Number of integer points in a certain quadrilateral scaled by a factor of n.
%C The quadrilateral is given by four vertices [(1/2, 1/3), (0, 1), (0, 0), (1, 0)] as an example on page 22 of Ehrhart 1967. Here the closed line segment from (1/2, 1/3) to (0, 1) is not included but the rest of the boundary is. The sequence is denoted by d(n). - _Michael Somos_, May 22 2014
