COMMENTS
A coupled non-normal semi-magic rectangle is a nonnegative integer matrix with equal row sums and equal column sums. The common row sum may be different from the common column sum.
Rectangles must be of size k X m where k and m are divisors of n. This implies that a(p) = p! + 3 for p prime since the only allowable rectangles are of sizes 1 X 1, 1 X p, p X 1 and p X p. The 1 X 1 square is [p], the 1 X p and p X 1 rectangles are [1,...,1] and its transpose and the p X p squares are necessarily permutation matrices and there are p! permutation matrices of size p X p. Also, a(n) >= n! + 3 for n > 1. - Chai Wah Wu, Jan 15 2019

FORMULA
