FORMULA
| It is shown in the paper cited above that lim a(p)/lg(p) = 5/2, where the limit is over primes p tending to infinity and where lg is the logarithm base 2.

EXAMPLE
| a(17) = 10 from the 2-by-2 matrix (4 -1\\1 4). This matrix has determinant 17 and L^1-norm 10 = 4 + 1 + 1 + 4. No square integer matrix has determinant 17 and L^1-norm < 10.
