Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
Arrange natural numbers 1,2,3,4,5,... as a triangle like A000027, then rotate each row of triangle one step right. - Antti Karttunen, May 07 2002
As a rectangular array, a(n) is the natural interspersion of the sequence of triangular numbers; see A192872. [Clark Kimberling, Aug 12 2011]
FORMULA
a(n) = -1+n+binomial(A002024(n)+1,2)-binomial(A002024(n-1)+1,2) where A002024(n) is round(sqrt(2*n)). - Brian Tenneson, Feb 03 2017
EXAMPLE
Northwest corner, when sequence is formatted as the natural interspersion of the sequence (1,3,6,10,15,...) of triangular numbers:
1...3...6...10...15
2...4...7...11...16
5...8...12..17...23
9...13..18..24...31 [ Clark Kimberling, Aug 12 2011 ]
