COMMENTS

A099475(a(n)) > 0: complement of A099477; A008586, A008585 and A037074 are subsequences - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Oct 18 2004

Also: values for which A143714 is nonzero, i.e. maximal side lengths of cuboids having integer shortest path going on the surface from one vertex to the opposite one (cf. example and A143714-A143715 for more). This path is the hypotenuse of a Pythagorean triple with other legs being the maximal side length and the sum of the two other side lengths of the cuboid. Thus the sequence lists integers c such that there are positive integers a <= b <= c such that c^2 + (a+b)^2 is a square (cf. PARI code). [From M. F.

EXAMPLE

a(18) = 35 because 5 and 7 divides 35 and 7 - 5 = 2

Contribution from M. F. Hasler (Maximilian.Hasler(AT)gmail.com), Aug 29 2008: (Start)

The 3 x 3 x 1 and 3 x 2 x 2 cuboids are the smallest (in terms of the longest side) for which the shortest path going on the surface from one vertex to the opposite one has integer length (namely sqrt(3^2+(3+1)^2) = sqrt(3^2+(2+2)^2) = 5), therefore the sequence lists 3 as first member.

The number 4 corresponds to the 4 x 2 x 1 cuboid and path length sqrt(4^2+(2+1)^2).

The number 5 is not part of this sequence since there is no cuboid with longest side length 5 and having integer shortest path from one vertex to the opposite one. (End)
