%C A self-inverse permutation of the nonnegative numbers.

%C a(n) is the smallest nonnegative integer not yet in the sequence such that n + a(n) is one less than a square. [_Franklin T. Adams-Watters_, Apr 06 2009]

%C From _Michel Marcus_, Mar 01 2021: (Start)

%C Array T(n,k) = (n+k)^2/2 + (n+3*k)/2 for n,k >=0 read by descending antidiagonals.

%C Array T(n,k) = (n+k)^2/2 + (3*n+k)/2 for n,k >=0 read by ascending antidiagonals. (End)

%F a(n) = floor(sqrt(2n+1)-1/2)*floor(sqrt(2n+1)+3/2) - n = A005563(A003056(n)) - n.

%F Row (or antidiagonal) n = 0, 1, 2, ... contains the integers from A000217(n) to A000217(n+1)-1 in reverse order (for diagonals, "reversed" with respect to the canonical "falling" order, cf. A001477/table). - _M. F. Hasler_, Nov 09 2021

%F From _Alois P. Heinz_, Feb 10 2023: (Start)

%F T(n,k) = n*(n+3)/2 - k.

%F Sum_{k=0..n} k * T(n,k) = A002419(n).

%F Sum_{k=0..n} k^2 * T(n,k) = A119771(n).

%e Read as a triangle, the sequence is:

%e 0

%e 2 1

%e 5 4 3

%e 9 8 7 6

%e 14 13 12 11 10

%e (...)

%e As an infinite square matrix (cf. the "table" link, 2nd paragraph) it reads:

%e 0 2 5 9 14 20 ...

%e 1 4 8 13 19 22 ...

%e 3 7 12 18 23 30 ...

%e 6 11 17 24 31 39 ...

%t Module[{nn=20},Reverse/@TakeList[Range[0,(nn(nn+1))/2],Range[nn]]]// Flatten (* Requires Mathematica version 11 or later *) (* _Harvey P. Dale_, Jul 06 2018 *)

%o A061579_upto(n)=concat([A061579_row(r)|r<-[0..sqrtint(2*n)]]) \\ yields approximately n terms: actual number differs by less than +- sqrt(n). - _M. F. Hasler_, Nov 09 2021

%Y Fixed points are A046092.

%Y Row sums give A027480.

%Y Each reversal involves the numbers from A000217 through to A000096.

%Y Cf. A038722. Transpose of A001477.
