Comments

See the main entry A343630 for details about this 3D generalization of an Ulam type spiral using the Euclidean norm.

Sequences A343632 and A343633 give the y and z coordinates.

The sequence can be seen as a table with row lengths 3*A005875, where A005875(r) is the number of points at distance sqrt(r) from the origin.

Sequence A343641 is the analog for the square spiral variant A343640.

(PARI) d=1; A343631_vec=concat([[P[1] | P<-S=A343630_row(n, d)]+(#S&&!d*=-1) | n<-[0..8]]) \\ the variable d is necessary to correct the z-scan direction in rows between A004215(2k-1) and A004215(2k).
