For all noncomposite n, a(n) = 0.
For each square k^2, a(k^2) = (k^2 + 1) - 2*k = (k-1)^2.

FORMULA
a(n) = 1 + n - A063655(n).
EXAMPLE
The largest semiperimeter of an integral rectangle with area 9 is 10 (1 x 9 rectangle); the smallest semiperimeter is 6 (3 x 3 rectangle). The difference, a(9) = 4.
