Exact and asymptotic evaluation of the number of distinct primitive cuboids
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 18 (2015) no. 2
We express the number of distinct primitive cuboids with given odd diagonal in terms of the twisted Euler function with alternating Dirichlet character of period four, and two counting formulas for binary sums of squares. Based on the asymptotic behaviour of the sums of these formulas, we derive an approximation formula for the cumulative number of primitive cuboids.
