%N Permutation of Z, folded to N, corresponding to the site swap pattern ...242824202428242... (A065176).

%C This permutation corresponds to the site swap pattern shown in the figure 7 of Buhler and Graham paper and consists of one fixed point (at 0, mapped here to 1) and infinite number of infinite cycles.

%p [seq(Z2N(N2Z(n)+TZ2(abs(N2Z(n)))), n=1..120)]; TZ2 := proc(xx) local x,s; s := 1; x := xx; if(0 = x) then RETURN(0); fi; while(0 = (x mod 2)) do x := floor(x/2); s := s+1; od; RETURN(2^s); end;

%p N2Z := n -> ((-1)^n)*floor(n/2); Z2N := z -> 2*abs(z)+`if`((z < 1),1,0);

%Y Inverse permutation: A065175. A065176 gives the deltas p(t)-t, i.e. the associated site swap sequence. Cf. also A065167, A065171.
