This is the range of the norm a^2 + b^2 of Gaussian primes a + b i. A239621 lists for each norm value a(n) one of the Gaussian primes as a, b with a >= b >= 0. In A239397, any of these (a, b) is followed by (b, a), except for a = b = 1. - Wolfdieter Lang, Mar 24 2014, edited by M. F. Hasler, Mar 09 2018
From Jean-Christophe Hervé, May 01 2013: (Start)
The present sequence is related to the square lattice, and to its division in square sublattices. Let's say that an integer n divides a lattice if there exists a sublattice of index n. Example: 2, 4, 5 divide the square lattice. Then A001481 (norms of Gaussian integers) is the sequence of divisors of the square lattice. Say that n is a "prime divisor" if the index-n sublattice is not contained in any other sublattice except the original lattice itself. The present sequence gives the "prime divisors" of the square lattice.
Similarly, A055664 (Norms of Eisenstein-Jacobi primes) is the sequence of "prime divisors" of the hexagonal lattice. (End)
The sequence is formed of 2, the prime numbers of form 4k+1, and the square of other primes (of form 4k+3). These are the primitive elements of A001481. With 0 and 1, they are the numbers that are uniquely decomposable in the sum of two squares. - Jean-Christophe Hervé, Nov 17 2013

FORMULA
|
Consists of 2; rational primes = 1 (mod 4) [A002144]; and squares of rational primes = 3 (mod 4) [A002145^2].
a(n) ~ 2n log n. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Feb 06 2017

EXAMPLE
|
There are 8 Gaussian primes of norm 5, +-1+-2i and +-2+-i, but only two inequivalent ones (2+-i). In A239621 2+i is listed as 2, 1.
