Comments

Deutsch shows in his 1999 paper that this automorphism maps the number of doublerises of Dyck paths to number of valleys and height of the first peak to the number of returns, i.e., that A126306(n) = A127284(a(n)) and A126307(n) = A057515(a(n)) hold for all n.

The A000108(n-2) n-gon triangularizations can be reflected over n axes of symmetry, which all can be generated by appropriate compositions of the permutations A057161/A057162 and A057163.

Composition with A057164 gives signature permutation for Donaghey's Map M (A057505/A057506). Embeds into itself in scale n:2n+1 as a(n) = A083928(a(A080298(n))). A127302(a(n)) = A127302(n) and A057123(A057163(n)) = A057164(A057123(n)) hold for all n.

Formula

a(n) = A083927(A057164(A057123(n))).

Example

This involution (self-inverse permutation) of natural numbers is induced when we reflect the rooted plane binary trees encoded by A014486. E.g., we have A014486(5) = 44 (101100 in binary), A014486(7) = 52 (110100 in binary) and these encode the following rooted plane binary trees, which are reflections of each other:
    0   0             0   0
     \ /               \ /
      1   0         0   1
       \ /           \ /
    0   1             1   0
     \ /               \ /
      1                 1
thus a(5)=7 and a(7)=5.

Maple

a(n) = A080300(ReflectBinTree(A014486(n)))
ReflectBinTree := n -> ReflectBinTree2(n)/2; ReflectBinTree2 := n -> (`if`((0 = n), n, ReflectBinTreeAux(A030101(n))));
ReflectBinTreeAux := proc(n) local a, b; a := ReflectBinTree2(BinTreeLeftBranch(n)); b := ReflectBinTree2(BinTreeRightBranch(n)); RETURN((2^(A070939(b)+A070939(a))) + (b * (2^(A070939(a)))) + a); end;
NextSubBinTree := proc(nn) local n, z, c; n := nn; c := 0; z := 0; while(c < 1) do z := 2*z + (n mod 2); c := c + (-1)^n; n := floor(n/2); od; RETURN(z); end;
BinTreeLeftBranch := n -> NextSubBinTree(floor(n/2));
BinTreeRightBranch := n -> NextSubBinTree(floor(n/(2^(1+A070939(BinTreeLeftBranch(n))))));

This automorphism conjugates between the car/cdr-flipped variants of other automorphisms, e.g., A057162(n) = a(A057161(a(n))), A069768(n) = a(A069767(a(n))), A069769(n) = a(A057508(a(n))), A069773(n) = a(A057501(a(n))), A069774(n) = a(A057502(a(n))), A069775(n) = a(A057509(a(n))), A069776(n) = a(A057510(a(n))), A069787(n) = a(A057164(a(n))).
