a(n) is a pairing function: a function that reversibly maps Z^{+} x Z^{+} onto Z^{+}, where Z^{+} is the set of integer positive numbers.

Layer is pair of sides of square from T(1,n) to T(n,n) and from T(n,n) to T(n,1). This sequence is A188568 as table read by boustrophedonic ("ox-plowing") method - layer clockwise, layer counterclockwise and so. The same table A188568 read layer by layer clockwise is A194280. (End)

Formula

a(n) = (i+j-1)*(i+j-2)/2+i, where i=min(t; t^2-n+1), j=min(t; n-(t-1)^2), t=floor(sqrt(n-1))+1. - Boris Putievskiy, Dec 24 2012

The start of the sequence as table:
  1....2...6...7..15..16..28...
  3....5...9..12..20..23..35...
  4....8..13..18..26..31..43...
  10..14..19..25..33..40..52...
  11..17..24..32..41..50..62...
  21..27..34..42..51..61..73...
  22..30..39..49..60..72..85...
  ...
The start of the sequence as triangular array read by rows:
  1;
  3,5,2;
  6,9,13,8,4;
  10,14,19,25,18,12,7;
  15,20,26,33,41,32,24,17,11;
  21,27,34,42,51,61,50,40,31,23,16;
  28,35,43,52,62,73,85,72,60,49,39,30,22;
  ...
Row number r contains 2*r-1 numbers. (End)
