%N a(n) is the number of circles of positive integer area with radii less than n and greater than n - 1.

%C Conjecture: k >= 2, each triple Tr(k) = {a(k), a(k+1), a(k+2)} gives the sides of an integer-sided triangle, and {(a(k+2) - a(k)), (a(k+2) - a(k+1)), (a(k+1) - a(k))} is a degenerate integer-sided triangle.

%F a(n) = #{floor(sqrt(k/Pi)) < n: n > 0, k > 0}.

%F a(n) = A066643(n)-A066643(n-1). - _R. J. Mathar_, Jan 25 2023
