Also number of ways to write 1/n as sum of exactly two distinct unit fractions. - Thomas L. York, Jan 11 2014
Also number of positive integers m such that 1/n + 1/m is a unit fraction. - Jon E. Schoenfield, Apr 17 2018
If 1/n = 1/b - 1/c then n = bc/(c-b) and 1/n = 1/(2n-b) + 1/(c+2n) (though it is also the case that 1/n = 1/(2n) + 1/(2n) equivalent to b = c = 0).
Also number of divisors of n^2 less than n. - Vladeta Jovovic, Aug 13 2001
Number of elements in the set {(x,y): x|n, y|n, x<y, gcd(x,y)=1}. - Vladeta Jovovic, May 03 2002
Also number of positive integers of the form k*n/(k+n). - Benoit Cloitre, Jan 04 2002
This is similar to A062799, having the same first 29 terms. But they are different sequences.
If A001221(n) = omega(n) <= 2, then a(n) = A062799(n); if A001221(n) > 2, then a(n) > A062799(n). - Matthew Vandermast, Aug 25 2004
Number of r X s integer-sided rectangles such that r + s = 4n, r < s and (s - r) | (s * r). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Apr 24 2020
Also number of integer-sided right triangles with 2n as a leg. Equivalent to the even indices of A046079. - Nathaniel C Beckman, May 14 2020; Jun 26 2020

FORMULA
|
a(n) = (tau(n^2)-1)/2.
a(n) = A018892(n)-1. If n = (p1^a1)(p2^a2)...(pt^at), a(n) = ((2*a1+1)(2*a2+1)...(2*at+1)-1)/2.
If n is prime a(n)=1. Conjecture: (1/n)*Sum_{i=1..n} a(i) = C*log(n)*log(log(n)) + o(log(n)) with C=0.7...
Bisection of A046079. - Lekraj Beedassy, Jul 09 2004
a(n) = Sum_{i=1..2*n-1} (1 - ceiling(i*(4*n-i)/(4*n-2*i)) + floor(i*(4*n-i)/(4*n-2*i))). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Apr 24 2020

EXAMPLE
|
a(10) = 4 since 1/10 = 1/5 - 1/10 = 1/6 - 1/15 = 1/8 - 1/40 = 1/9 - 1/90.
a(12) = 7: the divisors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12 and the decompositions are (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 6), (1, 12), (2, 3), (3, 4).
