COMMENTS

Odd numbers increasing from 1 to 2k-1 followed by even numbers decreasing from 2k to 2.

Also called Smarandache Permutation Sequence.

The ordinal transform of a sequence b_0, b_1, b_2, ... is the sequence a_0, a_1, a_2, ... where a_n is the number of times b_n has occurred in {b_0 ... b_n}.

This is a fractal sequence.
