COMMENTS

This lattice consists of all points (w,x,y,z) where w,x,y,z are integers with an even sum.

The L_infinity norm of a vector is the largest component in absolute value.

Equals binomial transform of [1, 39, 193, 191, 1, -1, 1, -1, 1,...] [From Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Feb 05 2010]

FORMULA

a(n)= 4*a(n-1) -6*a(n-2) +4*a(n-3) -a(n-4), n>4; a(n)= 8*n*(1+4*n^2) = 2*A144965(n), n>0 (bisection of A035878 and A105374). [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Feb 03 2010, Feb 13 2010]
