Problem 373: Circumscribed Circles

Mathematical Foundation

Theorem (Sum-of-Two-Squares Representation Count). The number of representations of $n$ as a sum of two squares (with order and signs) is:

where $\chi$ is the non-principal Dirichlet character modulo 4, defined by $\chi(d) = 0$ if $d$ is even, $\chi(d) = 1$ if $d \equiv 1 \pmod{4}$, and $\chi(d) = -1$ if $d \equiv 3 \pmod{4}$.

Equivalently, $r_2(n) = 4(d_1(n) - d_3(n))$ where $d_k(n) = \#\{d \mid n : d \equiv k \pmod{4}\}$.

Proof. This is a classical result from the arithmetic of the Gaussian integers $\mathbb{Z}[i]$. The norm $N(a + bi) = a^2 + b^2$ is multiplicative, and $r_2(n) = 4\sum_{d \mid n}\chi(d)$ follows from factoring $n$ in $\mathbb{Z}[i]$ and counting the units $\{\pm 1, \pm i\}$. For primes $p$:

• $p = 2$: $2 = -i(1+i)^2$, contributes factor 1 to $\sum \chi(d)$.
• $p \equiv 1 \pmod{4}$: $p = \pi\bar{\pi}$ splits, each prime power $p^a$ contributes $a + 1$ to $\sum \chi(d)$.
• $p \equiv 3 \pmod{4}$: $p$ remains prime in $\mathbb{Z}[i]$; $p^a$ is representable only if $a$ is even, contributing 1 in that case.

The multiplicativity of $\sum_{d \mid n}\chi(d)$ completes the proof. $\square$

Lemma (Non-Degeneracy). Any three distinct points on a circle of finite radius form a non-degenerate triangle.

Proof. Three collinear points lie on a line, but a line intersects a circle in at most 2 points. Hence three distinct points on a circle cannot be collinear, and therefore form a triangle with positive area. $\square$

Lemma (Representability Criterion). $r_2(n) > 0$ if and only if every prime factor $p \equiv 3 \pmod{4}$ of $n$ appears to an even power.

Proof. From the Gaussian integer factorization: $p \equiv 3 \pmod 4$ is inert in $\mathbb{Z}[i]$, so $p^a$ is a norm only when $a$ is even. By multiplicativity, $r_2(n) > 0$ iff no prime $p \equiv 3 \pmod 4$ divides $n$ to an odd power. $\square$

Theorem (Triangle Count). For each $n$ with $L(n) = r_2(n) \ge 3$, the number of lattice triangles inscribed in the circle $x^2 + y^2 = n$ is exactly $\binom{L(n)}{3}$. The total count is:

Proof. By the non-degeneracy lemma, every 3-element subset of the $L(n)$ lattice points on the circle is a valid triangle. No further degenerate cases need exclusion. $\square$

Editorial

Count lattice triangles whose circumscribed circle satisfies given conditions. Uses the sum-of-two-squares function r_2(n) to count lattice points on circles. We use smallest prime factor sieve, then compute r2 multiplicatively. Finally, sum binomial coefficients.

Pseudocode

Complexity Analysis

• Time: $O(N \log\log N)$ for the sieve, $O(N)$ for the summation pass. Total: $O(N \log\log N)$.
• Space: $O(N)$ for the sieve and $r_2$ arrays.

Problem 373: Circumscribed Circles

Count lattice triangles whose circumscribed circle satisfies given conditions.
Uses the sum-of-two-squares function r_2(n) to count lattice points on circles.

"""

def solve():
    """
    For each integer n, the number of lattice points on the circle x^2 + y^2 = n
    is given by r_2(n) = 4 * (d1(n) - d3(n)), where d1 counts divisors
    congruent to 1 mod 4 and d3 counts divisors congruent to 3 mod 4.

    For a circle with m lattice points, the number of inscribed lattice triangles
    is C(m, 3) (any 3 distinct points on a circle form a triangle).

    The solution sums these counts over all valid radii, accounting for
    the specific constraints of the problem (circumradius bounds, symmetry, etc.).

    Steps:
    1. Sieve to compute r_2(n) for all n up to the bound
    2. For each n with r_2(n) >= 6 (need at least 3 essentially distinct points),
       compute the triangle count
    3. Handle center translations and avoid overcounting

    The multiplicative property of r_2 allows efficient sieve computation:
    - r_2(2) = 4
    - r_2(p^a) = 4(a+1) if p ≡ 1 (mod 4)
    - r_2(p^a) = 4 if p ≡ 3 (mod 4) and a is even, 0 if a is odd
    - r_2 is multiplicative: r_2(mn) = r_2(m)*r_2(n)/4 for gcd(m,n)=1
      (not exactly, need to be careful with the factor of 4)
