%N List of permutations of 1,2,3,...,n for n=1,2,3,..., in the order they are output by Steinhaus-Johnson-Trotter algorithm.

%C This table is otherwise similar to A030298, but lists permutations in the order given by the Steinhaus-Trotter-Johnson algorithm. - _Antti Karttunen_, Dec 28 2012

%e For the set of the first two natural numbers {1,2} the unique permutations possible are 12 and 21, concatenated with 1 for {1} the resulting sequence would be 1, 1, 2, 2, 1.

%e If we consider up to 3 elements {1,2,3}, we have 123, 132, 312, 321, 231, 213 and the concatenation gives: 1, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 3, 1, 3, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 1, 3.

%e Up to N concatenations, the sequence will have a total of Sum_{k=1..N} (k! * k) = (N+1)! - 1 = A033312(N+1) terms.

%Y Cf. A030298, A055881.

%Y Cf. A001563 (row lengths), A001286 (row sums).

%Y Pair (A130664(n),A084555(n)) = (1,1),(2,3),(4,5),(6,8),(9,11),(12,14),... gives the starting and ending offsets of the n-th permutation in this list.
