Title
Partitioning a rectangle into small perimeter rectangles
Abstract
We show that the way to partition a unit square into k 2 + s rectangles, for s =1 or s =-1, so as to minimize the largest perimeter of the rectangles, is to have k −1 rows of k identical rectangles and one row of k + s identical rectangles, with all rectangles having the same perimeter. We also consider the analogous problem for partitioning a rectangle into n rectangles and describe some possible approaches to it.
