The largest member 'c' of the primitive Pythagorean triples (a,b,c) ordered by increasing c.
These are numbers of the form a^2 + b^2 where gcd(b-a, 2*a*b)=1. - M. F. Hasler, Apr 04 2010
Equivalently, numbers of the form a^2 + b^2 where gcd(a,b) = 1 and a and b are not both odd. To avoid double-counting, require a > b > 0. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Mar 15 2015
The density of such points in a circle with radius squared = a(n) is ~ Pi * a(n). Restricting to a > b > 0 reduces this by a factor of 1/8; requiring gcd(a,b)=1 provides a factor of 6/Pi^2; and a, b not both odd is a factor of 2/3. (2/3, not 3/4, because the case a, b both even has already been eliminated.) Multiplying, a(n) * Pi * 1/8 * 6/Pi^2 * 2/3 is a(n) / (2 * Pi). But n is approximately this number of points, so a(n) ~ 2 * Pi * n. Conjectured by David W. Wilson, proof by Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Mar 15 2015
The distinct terms of this sequence seem to constitute a subset of the sequence defined as a(n) = (-1)^n + 6*n for n >= 1. - Alexander R. Povolotsky, Mar 15 2015
The terms in this sequence are given by f(m,n) = m^2 + n^2 where m and n are any two integers satisfying m > 1, n < m, the greatest common divisor of m and n is 1, and m and n are both not odd. E.g., f(m,n) = f(2,1) = 2^2 + 1^2 = 4 + 1 = 5. - Agola Kisira Odero, Apr 29 2016
