COMMENT

In other words, number of points in a hexagonal lattice covered by a circular disk of diameter n if the center of the circle is chosen at the deep hole. - Hugo Pfoertner (hugo(AT)pfoertner.org), Jan 07 2007

Also number of integer coordinate pairs (s,t) satisfying s^2+t^2+st-s-t <= n^2/4-1/3. The a(2)=3 coordinate pairs are (s,t)=(0,0), (0,1) and (1,0). The a(3)=6 coordinate pairs are (-1,1),(0,0),(0,1),(1,-1),(1,0) and (1,1). - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Feb 23 2007
