Table of n, a(n) for n=1..156.

Formula

a(2n) = A004736(n), a(2n+1) = A002260(n). - Michael Somos, Mar 06 2004

Let p(i,j) be the position of (i,j) in the ordering. Then p(i,j) = ((i+j)^2-i-3j+2)/2. Inversely, the pair (i,j) in a given position p is given by i=p-q(q-1)/2 and j=q+1-i, where q=floor((1+sqrt(8k-7))/2).

Example

Flatten the ordered lattice points (1,1) < (1,2) < (2,1) < (1,3) < (2,2) < ... as 1,1, 1,2, 2,1, 1,3, 2,2, ...

Mathematica

lexicographicLattice[{dim_, maxHeight_}]:= Flatten[Array[Sort@Flatten[(Permutations[#1]&)/@IntegerPartitions[#1+dim-1, {dim}], 1]&, maxHeight], 1]; Flatten@lexicographicLattice[{2, 12}] (* Peter J. C. Moses, Feb 10 2011 *)
u[x_] := Floor[3/2 + Sqrt[2*x]]; v[x_] := Floor[1/2 + Sqrt[2*x]]; n[x_] := x - v[x]*(v[x] - 1)/2; k[x_] := 1 - x + u[x]*(u[x] - 1)/2; Flatten[Table[{n[m], k[m]}, {m, 45}]] (* L. Edson Jeffery, Jun 20 2015 *)
