COMMENTS

Arrange 1, 2, 3, ... n clockwise in a circle. Starting the count at 1, delete every k-th integer clockwise until only one remains, which is T(k,n).

The main diagonal of the array (1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 4, 5, 4, ...) is A007495.

Consecutive columns down to the main diagonal (1, 2, 1, 3, 3, 2, 4, 1, 1, 2, ...) is A032434.

Period lengths of columns (1, 2, 6, 12, 60, 60, 420, 840, ...) is A003418.

FORMULA

T(k,1) = 1;

for n > 1: T(k,n) = ((T(k,n-1) + k - 1) mod n) + 1.
