COMMENTS
Maximum number of lattice points (i.e., points with integer coordinates) in the plane that can be covered by a circle of radius n.
a(n) >= A000328(n).
Conjecture: sequence contains infinitely many terms that are divisible by 4.

FORMULA
a(n) = Pi*n^2 + O(n), as n goes to infinity.
a(n) = A123690(2*n) for n >= 1.
EXAMPLE
For a circle centered at the point (x, y) = (1/2, 1/4) with radius 2, there are 14 lattice points inside and on the circle.
