COMMENTS
Original definition (typos corrected): The following triangle contains n consecutive numbers beginning from n in ascending order if n is odd else in descending order. 1 3 2 3 4 5 7 6 5 4 5 6 7 8 9 11 10 9 8 7 6 ... Sequence contains the leading diagonal.
Equals A133566 * [1,2,3,...]. - Gary W. Adamson, Sep 16 2007
The sequence satisfies a divisibility property described by E. Angelini on the SeqFan list, cf. link. - M. F. Hasler, Mar 22 2013
First difference of A014255 (shown easily from the Nurikabe property of that sequence, or by manipulating the linear recurrence representations). - Allan C. Wechsler, Oct 20 2022
LINKS

FORMULA
a(2n) = 2n, a(2n+1) = 4n+1. - Joshua Zucker, May 05 2006
G.f.: x*(1+2*x+3*x^2)/(1-x^2)^2. - Philippe Deléham, Mar 02 2012
a(n) = (3n-(n-1)*(-1)^n-1)/2. - Bruno Berselli, Mar 02 2012
