The coordinate system is defined by the On and Oy axes, which intersect at the center of the spiral. The points of the parabola with integer coordinates located on the right branch of the parabola y=n^2 determine the terms of the sequence. In the attached figure, the terms are highlighted in red cells. %H A357281 Nicolay Avilov, <a href="/A357281/a357281_1.jpg">Figure illustrating the terms a(0) - a(3)</a> %H A357281 <a href="/index/Rec#order_05">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (5,-10,10,-5,1). %F A357281 a(n) = 4*n^4 + 3*n^2 + n + 1. %F A357281 a(n) = 4*A000583(n) + A056108(n). %F A357281 G.f.: (1 + 4*x + 44*x^2 + 40*x^3 + 7*x^4)/(1 - x)^5. - _Stefano Spezia_, Sep 24 2022 %e A357281 a(0) = 1; %e A357281 a(4) = 4*4^4 + 3*4^2 + 4 + 1 = 1024 + 48 + 5 = 1077. %t A357281 LinearRecurrence[{5,-10,10,-5,1},{1,9,79,355,1077},40] (* _Harvey P.
