COMMENTS

This automorphism effects the following transformation on the unlabeled rooted plane binary trees (letters A, B, C refer to arbitrary subtrees located on those nodes and () stands for an implied terminal node.)

...B...C...........A...C

....\./.............\./

.A...x....-->....B...x.................A..().........A...()..

..\./.............\./...................\./....-->....\./...

...x...............x.....................x.............x....

(a . (b . c)) -> (b . (a . c)) ______ (a . ()) ---> (a . ())

In terms of general trees, it swaps the two leftmost branches of the tree if its degree (i.e. of the root) > 1 and keeps the tree intact if it is planted (root's degree = 1).

Note that the first clause corresponds to what is called "generator pi_0" in Thompson's group V. (See also A074679, A089851 and A154121 for other related generators).

Look at the example in A069770 to see how this will produce the given sequence of integers.

PROG

(Scheme function implementing this automorphism on list-structures, both the constructive (*A072796) and destructive (*A072796!) variant given:)

(define (*A072796 s) (cond ((not (pair? s)) s) ((not (pair? (cdr s))) s) (else (cons (cadr s) (cons (car s) (cddr s))))))

(define (*A072796! s) (cond ((not (pair? s)) s) ((not (pair? (cdr s))) s) (else (swap! s) (robr! s) (swap! (cdr s)) s)))

(define (robr! s) (let ((ex-cdr (cdr s))) (set-cdr! s (caar s)) (set-car! (car s) ex-cdr) (swap! (car s)) (swap! s) s))

(define (swap! s) (let ((ex-car (car s))) (set-car! s (cdr s)) (set-cdr! s ex-car) s))
