%N Array of odd catheti of primitive Pythagorean triangles when read by SW-NE diagonals.

%C See the comments, reference and links in A208853. The present array is a(n,m) = abs((2*n-1)^2 - (2*m)^2) if gcd((2*n-1,2*m)=1 and 0 otherwise. Put u=2*n-1 and v=2*m. The array read by SW-NE diagonals is T(n,m):=a(n-m+1,m), n>=m>=1.

%C All primitive Pythagorean triples are given by (a(n,m),b(n,m):=A208855(n,m), c(n,m):=A208853(n,m)), n>=1, m>=1. If the entry is (0,0,0) there is no primitive Pythagorean triple for these n and m values. See the example section of A208853 for the array of triples.

%C Every odd number a=2*k+1, k>=1, appears at least in one primitive triple, namely in (2*k+1, 4*T(k),4*T(k)+1), with the triangular numbers T(k) := A000217(k). This a-value is a=u^2-v^2 with (u,v)=(k+1,k). It may appear in other primitive triples. E.g. a=33=2*16+1 appears in (u,v)=(17,16) ((n,m)= (9,8)) as (33,544,545), and also in (33,56,65) with (n,m)=(4,2) (maybe others).

%F T(n,m)=a(n-m+1,m), n>=m>=1, with a(n,m):=abs((2*n-1)^2 - (2*m)^2) if gcd((2*n-1,2*m)=1 and 0 otherwise.
