COMMENTS

A line segment joins points (a,b) and (c,d) if the points are distinct and gcd(c-a,d-b)=1.

LINKS

S. Mustonen, On lines going through a given number of points in a rectangular grid of points [From Seppo Mustonen (seppo.mustonen(AT)helsinki.fi), May 13 2010]

FORMULA

a(n) = A114043(n) - 1.

EXAMPLE

The 2 x 2 square lattice has a total of 6 line segments: 2 vertical, 2 horizonal and 2 diagonal.

MATHEMATICA

Table[cnt=0; Do[If[GCD[c-a, d-b]<2, cnt++ ], {a, n}, {b, n}, {c, n}, {d, n}]; (cnt-n^2)/2, {n, 20}]

Contribution from Seppo Mustonen (seppo.mustonen(AT)helsinki.fi), May 13 2010: (Start)

(* This recursive code is much more efficient. *)

a[n_]:=a[n]=If[n<=1, 0, 2*a1[n]-a[n-1]+R1[n]]

a1[n_]:=a1[n]=If[n<=1, 0, 2*a[n-1]-a1[n-1]+R2[n]]

R1[n_]:=R1[n]=If[n<=1, 0, R1[n-1]+4*EulerPhi[n-1]]

R2[n_]:=(n-1)*EulerPhi[n-1]

Table[a[n], {n, 1, 37}]
