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

Extensions

Definition corrected to include 'simple'. 'Simple' and 'perfect' defined in comments. - Geoffrey H. Morley, Mar 11 2010
Corrected a(18) and extended terms to order 21. All 3-connected planar graphs up to 22 edges used to generate dissections. Imperfect squared rectangles, compound squared rectangles, and all squared squares filtered out leaving simple perfect squared rectangles. - Stuart E Anderson, Mar 2011
Corrected a(18) to a(21) after removing last remaining compounds. - Stuart E Anderson, Apr 10 2011
Added a(22), a(23) and a(24) from Ian Gambini's thesis and corrected a(22). Added I. Gambini's thesis reference. - Stuart E Anderson, May 08 2011
Added some additional references, previous correction to a(22) is an increase of 4 based on a new count of order 22. - Stuart E Anderson, Jul 13 2012
Terms a(21)-a(24) corrected to include squares by Geoffrey H. Morley, Oct 17 2012

Comments

a(n) is the number of solutions to the classic problem of 'squaring the square' by n unequal squares. 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, and compound if it does.

Examples

			a(21) = 1 because there is a unique perfect squared square of order 21. A014530 gives the sizes of its constituent squares.
