In this paper, we prove that for any 1/2< t< 1, there exists a positive integer N 0 depending on t such that for any n 0≥ N 0, squares of sidelength f (n)− t for n≥ n 0 can be packed with disjoint interiors into a square of area∑ n= n 0∞ f (n)− 2 t, if the function f satisfies some suitable conditions. The main theorem (Theorem 1.1) is a generalization of Tao's theorem in [15], which argued the case f (n)= n. As corollaries, we prove that there are such packings of squares when f (n) represents the nth element of either an arithmetic progression or the set of prime numbers. In these cases, we give effective lower bounds for N 0 with respect to t. Furthermore, we consider the case that f (n) represents the nth element of the set of twin primes and prove that squares of sidelength f (n)− t for n≥ n 0 can be packed with disjoint interiors into a slightly larger square than theoretically expected.
