A squared rectangle is a rectangle dissected into a finite number of integer-sized squares. If no two of these squares are the same size then the squared rectangle is perfect. A squared rectangle is simple if it does not contain a smaller squared rectangle or squared square. The order of a squared rectangle is the number of squares into which it is dissected.

Formula

From Stuart E Anderson, Mar 02 2011, Feb 03 2024: (Start)
In "A Census of Planar Maps", p. 267, William Tutte gave a conjectured asymptotic formula for the number of perfect squared rectangles where n is the number of elements in the dissection (the order):
Conjecture: a(n) ~ n^(-5/2) * 4^n / (243*sqrt(Pi)). (End)
a(n) = A006983(n) + A219766(n). - Stuart E Anderson, Dec 07 2012

Definition corrected to include 'simple'. 'Simple' and 'perfect' defined in comments. - Geoffrey H. Morley, Mar 11 2010

A squared rectangle (which may be a square) is a rectangle dissected into a finite number, two or more, of squares. If no two of these squares have the same size, the squared rectangle is perfect. A squared rectangle is compound if it contains a smaller squared rectangle. The order of a squared rectangle is the number of constituent squares. - Geoffrey H. Morley, Oct 17 2012
The smallest perfect compound squared square was published by T. H. Willcocks in 1948, has 24 squares and has one rectangle as a sub-dissection; however, it was not until 1982 that A. J. W. Duijvestijn, P. J. Federico and P. Leeuw proved it to be the lowest-order example.
In 2010 Stuart Anderson and Ed Pegg Jr generated all 2-connected minimum degree 3 planar graphs up and including 29 edges, using B. D. McKay and G. Brinkmann's plantri software, then applied electrical node analysis to the graphs to obtain complete counts of compound perfect squares in orders 24, 25, 26, 27 and 28, along with all the members of each equivalence class of each compound square.
In 2011 S. E. Anderson and Stephen Johnson commenced order 29 CPSSs, and processed all plantri generated 2-connected minimum degree 3 planar graph embeddings with up to 15 vertices. This left the largest graph class, the 16 vertex class. In 2012 S. E. Anderson processed the remaining graphs, using the Amazon Elastic Cloud supercomputer and new software which he wrote to find a(29). - Stuart E Anderson, Nov 30 2012
In May 2013 Lorenz Milla and Stuart Anderson enumerated a(30) (CPSSs of order 30), using the same process and software as used on order 29 CPSSs, with the addition of a technique recommended by William Tutte in his writings which resulted in a 3x speed-up of the search for perfect squared squares by factoring the determinant of the Kirchhoff/discrete Laplacian matrix of a graph into a product 2fS, where f is a squarefree number and S is a square number. - Stuart E Anderson, May 26 2013
From June to September 2013, Lorenz Milla further optimized the process and software and completed the computation required to enumerate all CPSSs of order 31 and 32. A second run with enhanced software was undertaken by Milla and Anderson as there was a possibility some CPSSs could have been missed on the first run. The second run found nothing new or different and confirmed the result. - Stuart E Anderson, Sep 29 2013
In April 2014, Jim Williams wrote software and used it to complete the enumeration of CPSS orders 33, 34, 35 and 36. - Stuart E Anderson, May 02 2016
In August 2018, Jim Williams completed the enumeration of CPSS orders 37, 38 and 39. - Stuart E Anderson, Sep 17 2018.

Examples

			From _Geoffrey H. Morley_, Oct 17 2012 (Start):
See MathWorld link for an explanation of Bouwkamp code.
a(24)=1 because all four compound perfect squares of order 24 are equivalent up to symmetries. They have side 175. The Bouwkamp code for one of them is (81,56,38)(18,20)(55,16,3)(1,5,14)(4)(9)(39)(51,30)(29,31,64)(43,8)(35,2)(33). (End)

A squared rectangle (which may be a square) is a rectangle dissected into a finite number, two or more, of squares. If no two of these squares have the same size the squared rectangle is perfect. The order of a squared rectangle is the number of constituent squares.
A squared rectangle is simple if it does not contain a smaller squared rectangle, compound if it does, and trivially compound if a constituent square has the same side length as a side of the squared rectangle under consideration.

Examples

			a(10) = 14 comprises the A002839(10) = 6 simple perfect squared rectangles (SPSRs) of order 10 and the 8 trivially compound perfect squared rectangles which each comprises one of the two order 9 SPSRs and one other square.
