Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N X-coordinate of points following the 3D square spiral defined in A343640.
%C See A343640 for more about this 3D generalization of the 2D Ulam type square spiral.
%C The sequence can be seen as a table with row lengths A010014, where A010014(r) is the number of points of Z^3 with sup-norm r.

%o (PARI) A343641_vec=concat([[P[1]| P<-A343640_row(r)] | r<-[0..2]]) \\ From r=0 up to n there are (2n+1)^3 points with 3 coordinates each.
%Y Cf. A343640 (triples), A343642 and A343643 (list of y and z-coordinates).
%Y Cf. A343631 (variant using the Euclidean norm), A342561 (another variant).
%Y Cf. A010014 (number of points on a shell with given radius => row lengths).
