COMMENTS

Number of points of L_infinity norm n in the simple square lattice Z^2. - N. J. A. Sloane (njas(AT)research.att.com), Apr 15 2008

Apart from initial term(s), dimension of the space of weight 2n cusp forms for Gamma_0( 24 ).

Number of 4 X n binary matrices avoiding simultaneously the right angled numbered polyomino patterns (ranpp) (00;1), (01;0), (11;0) and (01;1). An occurrence of a ranpp (xy;z) in a matrix A=(a(i,j)) is a triple (a(i1,j1), a(i1,j2), a(i2,j1)) where i1<i2, j1<j2 and these elements are in same relative order as those in the triple (x,y,z). - Sergey Kitaev (kitaev(AT)ms.uky.edu), Nov 11 2004

These numbers correspond to the number of primes in the shells of a prime spiral. In a(2) there are 8 primes surrounding 2 in a prime spiral - Enoch Haga (Enokh(AT)comcast.net), Apr 06 2000.
