This paper presents some new results concerned with uniform distribution properties associated with the sequence $(a_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, which is defined as the distance from the $n$-th square pyramidal number to the closest square. We also extend the results to arithmetic progressions.
We generalize the Cannonball Problem by introducing integer-valued and non-increasing arithmetic functions $w$. We associate these functions $w$ with certain polygons, which we call cannonball polygons. Through this correspondence, we show that for any $Z\in\mathbb{N}$, there exists a cannonball polygon with multiplicity 8 and largest side of length $Z$. Moreover, for any multiplicity $s$ greater than 8, we provide an asymptotic formula for the number of distinct classes of cannonball polygons with multiplicity $s$.
We provide an asymptotic formula for the average value of the sequence A351830: $a_{n} = |P_{n} - y^{2}_{n}|$ for $1 \leq n \leq x$, where $P_{n}$ is the $n$-th square pyramidal number and $y^{2}_{n}$ is the closest square to $P_{n}$. Moreover, we supply asymptotic formulas for the $k$-th moment of the same sequence, for any fixed natural number $k$.
