%N Value of s corresponding to norm of n-th shell of points in mcc lattice.

%C The mcc lattice is generated by the vectors (u,v,0), (u,0,v) and (0,v,v), where u = 2^(-1/2), v = 2^(-1/4).

%C The norms q = X.X of the lattice points X have the form q = s/2 + t/sqrt(2) for integers s and t.

%C A222301 gives the number of points with each successive value of q; A222302 and A222303 give the corresponding values of s and t.
