Rectangles of nonvisible lattice points
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 18 (2015) no. 10
A lattice point (0, 0) $\ne (x, y) \in Z^{2}$ is called $visible$ (from the origin) if $gcd(x, y)=1$, and $nonvisible$ otherwise. Given positive integers $a, b$, define $M := M(a, b)$ and $N := N(a, b)$ to be the positive integers $M$ and $N$ having the least value of $max(M, N)$ with the property that $gcd(M-i, N-j)$ > 1 for all $1 \le i \le a$ and $1 \le j \le b$. We give upper and lower bounds for $M, N$.
