%C Since A057027 is a permutation of the natural numbers, every natural number occurs in this sequence infinitely many times.

%C Triangle of spiral permutations. In the Saclolo reference sigma_n(x) is called a spiral permutation. - _Michael Somos_, Apr 21 2011

%C Second inverse function (numbers of columns) for pairing function A194982. - _Boris Putievskiy_, Jan 10 2013

%C The triangle T(n, k) (see the formula by Michael Somos) has in row n a certain permutation of [1, 2, ..., n]. This permutation is useful for the proof of the identity Product_{k=1..n} f(sin(Pi*k/(2*n+1))) = Product_{m=1..n} f(sin(2*Pi*m/(2*n+1))) for any function f, n >= 1 (also for n = 0). The permutation of the arguments of f goes via m = T(n, k), and this is due to sin(Pi-x) = sin(x). Of course, one can replace the product by a sum in this identity. The product identity is used in a trivial variant of Eisenstein's proof of the quadratic reciprocity law. See the W. Lang Aug 28 2016 comment under A049310. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Aug 28 2016

%C For the proof of the (slightly extended) conjecture stated in the formula section by _L. Edson Jeffery_ see the W. Lang link. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Sep 14 2016

%F (Conjecture) Define the Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind by U_0(t) = 1, U_1(t) = 2*t, and U_r(t) = 2*t*U_(r-1)(t) - U_(r-2)(t) (r>1). Then T(n,k) = Sum_{j=1..n} U_(k-1)(cos((2*j-1)*Pi/(2*n+1))), 1<=k<=n. - _L. Edson Jeffery_, Jan 09 2012 (See the Sep 14 2016 comment above.)

%F a(n) = -(j+(i-1)/2)*((-1)^i-1)/2+(i/2)*((-1)^i+1)/2, where i = n-t*(t+1)/2, j = (t*t+3*t+4)/2-n, t = floor((-1+sqrt(8*n-7))/2). (End)
