1, 4, 2, 9, 5, 3, 16, 10, 7, 6, 25, 17, 13, 11, 8, 36, 26, 21, 18, 14, 12, 49, 37, 31, 27, 22, 19, 15, 64, 50, 43, 38, 32, 28, 23, 20, 81, 65, 57, 51, 44, 39, 33, 29, 24, 100, 82, 73, 66, 58, 52, 45, 40, 34, 30, 121, 101, 91, 83, 74, 67, 59, 53, 46, 41, 35

COMMENTS
A permutation of the natural numbers.
Row 1 consists of the squares.
Beginning with row 5, the columns obey a 3rd-order recurrence:
c(n)=c(n-1)+c(n-2)-c(n-3)+1; thus disregarding row 1, the nonsquares are partitioned by this recurrence.
Except for initial terms, the first ten rows match A000290, A002522, A002061, A059100, A014209, A117950, A027688, A087475, A027689, A117951, and the first column, A035106.

FORMULA
Let S(n,k) denote the k-th term in the n-th row. Three cases:
S(1,k)=k^2;
if n is even, then S(n,k)=k^2+(n-2)k+(n^2-2*n+4)/4;
if n>=3 is odd, then S(n,k)=k^2+(n-2)k+(n^2-2*n+1)/4.
EXAMPLE
Corner:
1....4....9...16...25
2....5...10...17...26
3....7...13...21...31
6...11...18...27...38
The double interspersion A161179 begins thus:
1....4....7...12...17...24
2....3....8...11...18...23
5....6...13...16...25...30
9...10...19...22...33...38
Expel the even-numbered columns, leaving
1....7...17...
2....8...18...
5...13...25...
9...19...33...
Then replace each of those numbers by its rank when all the numbers are jointly ranked.
