%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of tilings of an n X k rectangle by integer-sided rectangular pieces that cannot be rearranged to produce a different tiling of the rectangle (except rotations and reflections of the original tiling), 1 <= k <= n.

%F T(n,1) = A361003(n) = A000005(n) + floor((n-1)/2). (The first term corresponds to cases where all pieces have the same size, the second to cases where there are two pieces of different sizes.)
