Comments

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. - Geoffrey H. Morley, Oct 17 2012

Formula

a(n) = A006983(n) + A181340(n). - Geoffrey H. Morley, Oct 17 2012

Example

From Geoffrey H. Morley, Oct 17 2012 (Start):
a(21) = 1 because there is a unique perfect squared square of order 21. A014530 gives the sizes of its constituent squares.
a(24) = 27 because there are A217156(24) = 30 perfect squared squares of order 24 but four of them differ only in the symmetries of a squared subrectangle. (End)
