Challenge

The primitive circle problem is the problem of determining how many coprime integer lattice points \$x,y\$ there are in a circle centered at the origin and with radius \$r \in \mathbb{Z}^+ \$ such that \$x^2+y^2 \le r^2 \$. It's a generalization of Code-Golf: Lattice Points inside a Circle.

primitive_circle

Input

Radius \$r \in \mathbb{Z}^+\$

Output

Number of coprime points

Test Cases

Taken from sequence A175341 in the OEIS.

Radius Number of coprime points
0 0
1 4
2 8
3 16
4 32
5 48

  • \$\begingroup\$ It looks from your test cases that input may be considered to only be non-negative integers, but you don't explicitly state that - could you please confirm? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 11 at 18:05
  • \$\begingroup\$ @JonathanAllan I truly hope that there is no circle with negative radius \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ @enzo, I'm not sure if your comment was just a bit of fun - my point was that it looks from the test cases like we don't need to handle an input like 5.7, but the post does not clarify this. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 11 at 21:10

    \$\begingroup\$ @JonathanAllan Yes! I was only joking about the fact that by explicitly saying "non-negative", it could look like that you were interested in negative integers as well. But the focus here is the numeric domain indeed, very interesting observation. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @JonathanAllan: I'm not sure decimal values make sense to begin with when considering prime factorization (which is inherently required to check if numbers are coprime). Prime numbers only exist within the space of positive integers. \$\endgroup\$

The recursion is convenient in JS but otherwise really pointless. It is replaced with a single loop below.

=iferror(4*sum(map(sequence(1,A2+1,0),lambda(x,map(sequence(A2),lambda(y,(1=gcd(x,y))*(x^2+y^2<=A2^2)))))),0)

Put the radius in cell A2 and the formula in cell C2.

The formula creates a \$(n+1)×n\$ matrix for the upper right quadrant, excluding the \$x\$ axis (\$y ≠ 0\$). The matrix contains ones and zeros. The result is 4 times the sum of the matrix.

This would be much simpler to implement with an array formula, but unfortunately gcd() is an aggregating function that only gives one result per evaluation rather than a result matrix, so we need to test every lattice point separately.

Try it online!

How?

ŒRṗ2²S>ɗÐḟ²g/€ċ1 - Link: non-negative integer, r
ŒR               - abs-range -> [-r..r]
  ṗ2             - Cartesian power {2}
                    -> LatticePoints of the enclosing, axis-aligned square
        Ðḟ       - filter discard those {LatticePoints} for which:
       ɗ  ²      -   last three links as a dyad - f(LatticePoint, r^2)
    ²            -     square {each coordinate of LatticePoint}
     S           -     sum {these}
      >          -     {that} greater than {r^2}?
           g/€   - reduce each {remaining LatticPoint} by GCD
              ċ1 - {that} count occurrences of one

* Also works for floats, up to floating-point errors, since while ŒR implicitly floors its input no lattice point will be in or on the circle if one of its coordinates is further out.
