Comments

Positive terms are partial sums of A001650, n appears n times (n odd).

a(n) is typically larger than the analytical integral (4/3)n^(3/2) of the area because integer points right on the contour contribute with too much statistical weight in the Monte Carlo sense of area estimation. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 06 2006

Table of n, a(n) for n=-1..55.

Formula

a(n+1) = a(n)+1+2*floor(sqrt(n+1)) = a(n)+A001650(n+2). - R. J. Mathar, Nov 06 2006

G.f.: theta_3(x)/(1 - x)^2, where theta_() is the Jacobi theta function. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jan 18 2018

Example

a(2) = 7 because there are exactly seven points with integer coordinates within the graph of y >= x^2 and bounded by the line y = 2: (0,0), (-1,1), (0,1), (1,1), (-1,2), (0,2) and (1,2).

Maple

A095875 := proc(n) local y; sum(1+2*floor(sqrt(y)), y=0..n) ; end: for n from -1 to 60 do printf("%d, ", A095875(n)) ; od ; # R. J. Mathar, Nov 06 2006
