COMMENTS

A Pythagorean triangle is a right triangle whose edge lengths are all integers; such a triangle is 'primitive' if the lengths are relatively prime.

Equivalently, number of odd unitary divisors d of n such that sqrt(n) < d < sqrt(2n). (A divisor d of n is 'unitary' if gcd(d,n/d) = 1.) Sketch of proof: A primitive Pythagorean triangle has edge lengths (r^2-s^2, 2rs, r^2+s^2), where 1<=s<r, r and s are relatively prime and r+s is odd. This has perimeter 2n iff n=r(r+s). Let d=r+s.

EXAMPLE

a(858)=2; the primitive Pythagorean triangles with edge lengths (364, 627, 725) and (195, 748, 773) both have perimeter 2*858 = 1716.

MATHEMATICA

oddpart[n_] := If[OddQ[n], n, oddpart[n/2]]; a[n_] := Length[Select[Divisors[oddpart[n]], n<#^2<2n&&GCD[ #, n/# ]==1&]]

PROG

(MAGMA) UnitaryDivisors :=

  func<n| [d:d in Divisors(n)|GCD(d, n div d) eq 1]>;

A078926:=

  func<n | #[d:d in UnitaryDivisors(n)| IsOdd(d) and Isqrt(n) lt d and d le Isqrt(2*n-1)] >;

[A078926(n):n in [1..105]];

CROSSREFS

a(n) = A070109(2n). A078927(n) is smallest s such that a(s)=n. a(n) is nonzero iff n is in A020886.
