a(n)>=max(A053411(n),A053414(n),A053415(n)).

a(n) is an upper bound for the number of segments of a self avoiding path on the 2-dimensional square lattice such that the path fits into a circle of diameter n. A122224(n)<=a(n). Link to illustrations added. X-Refs to A125852 and A127406.

EXAMPLE

a(1)=2: Circle with diameter 1 and center (0,0.5) covers 2 lattice points; a(2)=5: Circle with diameter 2 and center (0,0) covers 5 lattice points;

a(3)=4: Circle with diameter 3 and center (0,0) covers 9 lattice points;

a(4)=14: Circle with diameter 4 and center (0.5,0.2) covers 14 lattice points.
