The edges of the spiral have length A195035. %C A195036 Zero together with partial sums of A195035. %C A195036 The only primes in the sequence are 23 and 53 since a(n) = (1/2)*((2*n+(-1)^n+3)/4)*((46*n-37*(-1)^n+37)/4). - _Bruno Berselli_, Sep 30 2011 %C A195036 The spiral contains infinitely many Pythagorean triples in which the hypotenuses on the main diagonal are the positives multiples of 17 (Cf. A008599). The vertices on the main diagonal are the numbers A195039 = (15+8)*A000217 = 23*A000217, where both 15 and 8 are the first two edges in the spiral. The distance "a" between nearest edges that are perpendicular to the initial edge of the spiral is 15, while the distance "b" between nearest edges that are parallel to the initial edge is 8, so the distance "c" between nearest vertices on the same axis is 17 because from the Pythagorean theorem we can write c = (a^2+b^2)^(1/2) = sqrt(15^2+8^2) = sqrt(225+64) = sqrt(289) = 17. - _Omar E.
