COMMENTS

An elementary square of type 2 is the smallest square that can be tiled with squares of two different sides a < b satisfying a^2+b^2 = c^2 and so that the numbers of small and large squares are equal.

Every term is an odd square >= 9 and each odd square is present infinitely many times.

Notation: s_p (resp. s_e) = side of a primitive (resp. elementary) tiled square, a = side of small squares and b = side of large squares used to tile a primitive square, and z_p (z_e) = number of small squares = number of large squares used to tile a primitive (resp. elementary) square.

A primitive square with side s_p = a*c/(c-b) is tiled with z_p small and z_p large squares with sides a and b, and z_p = (a/(c-b))^2.

Each elementary square with a side s_e = k*s_p, k>0, is tiled with z_e small and z_e large squares with sides k*a and k*b, and z_e = z_p = (a/(c-b))^2.

When an elementary side A344332(n) is a multiple of m distinct primitive sides s_p, then there are m different values T(n,1), ..., T(n,m) in the row n (see example).

EXAMPLE

The triangle T begins:

n\k 1 2 3 4 5

1: 9

2: 9

3: 9

4: 9

5: 25

6: 9

7: 9

8: 9

9: 9

10: 25

11: 9

12: 9

13: 9

14: 49

15: 9

16: 9, 25

17: 9

...

The first elementary side that is a multiple of two primitive sides (15 and 65) is A344332(16) = 195 = 13*15 = 3*65.

As 195 = 13*15, the number z of squares with side a = 13*3 = 39 and b = 13*4 = 52 to tile this elementary square is T(16,1) = (39/(65-52))^2 = 9.

As 195 = 3 * 65, the number z of squares with side a = 3*5 = 15 and b = 3*12 = 36 to tile this elementary square is T(16,2) = (15/(39-36))^2 = 25.

Hence, the elementary square with side A344332(16) = 195 has two different possible tilings: with T(16,1) = 9 squares of sides (a,b) = (39,52) or with T(16,2) = 25 squares of sides (a,b) = (15,36).

Elementary square 195 X 195 with a = 39, b = 52, s = 195, z = 9:
