%N Inverse permutation to A060734.

%C From _Boris Putievskiy_, Mar 14 2013: (Start)

%C a(n) is a pairing function: a function that reversibly maps Z^{+} x Z^{+} onto Z^{+}, where Z^{+} is the set of integer positive numbers.

%C Layer is pair of sides of square from T(1,n) to T(n,n) and from T(n,n) to T(n,1). This sequence is A188568 as table read by boustrophedonic ("ox-plowing") method - layer clockwise, layer counterclockwise and so. The same table A188568 read layer by layer clockwise is A194280. (End)

%F a(n) = (i+j-1)*(i+j-2)/2+i, where i=min(t; t^2-n+1), j=min(t; n-(t-1)^2), t=floor(sqrt(n-1))+1. - _Boris Putievskiy_, Dec 24 2012
