A301626 Square array T(n, k) read by antidiagonals, n >= 0 and k >= 0: T(n, k) = square of the distance from n + k*i to nearest cube of a Gaussian integer (where i denotes the root of -1 with positive imaginary part). 3

%N Square array T(n, k) read by antidiagonals, n >= 0 and k >= 0: T(n, k) = square of the distance from n + k*i to nearest cube of a Gaussian integer (where i denotes the root of -1 with positive imaginary part).

%C The distance between two Gaussian integers is not necessarily integer, hence the use of the square of the distance.

%C This sequence is a complex variant of A074989.

%C See A301636 for the square array dealing with squares of Gaussian integers.

%F T(n, k) = T(k, n).

%F T(n, 0) <= A074989(n)^2.

%F T(n, 0) = 0 iff n is a cube (A000578).

%F T(n, k) = 0 iff n + k*i = z^3 for some Gaussian integer z.
