Comments

The path may be open or closed. For larger n several solutions with the same number of segments exist.

It is conjectured that a(n) >= A123690(n)-1, i.e., that it is always possible to find a path visiting all grid points covered by a circle, irrespective of the position of its center. - Hugo Pfoertner, Mar 02 2018
