(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences!)
A045901 Group the natural numbers into blocks: B_1 = 1, B_2 = 2,3,4, B_3 = 5,6,7,8,9, ..., each block ending in a square. Permute each block B_k by beginning with the central term, followed by the transposed symmetric pairs from B_k. 0

FORMULA

The k-th term of the n-th block is T(n, k) = n^2-n+1+(-1)^k*floor(k/2), k=1..2*n-1. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Jan 16 2004

EXAMPLE

B_4 = 10,11,12,13,14,15,16 becomes 13, 14,12, 15,11, 16,10.

1; 3,4,2; 7,8,6,9,5; 13,14,12,15,11,16,10; ...
