%N A permutation of the integers induced by the Beatty sequence for sqrt(2).

%C Another permutation of the integers is -A130527.

%F a(0)=0; a(n)=k if n=L(k); a(n)=-k if n=U(k), where L(k) = A001951(k) = Floor(k*sqrt(2)), U(k) = A001952(k) = 2k+L(k).

%e 5=L(4), so a(5)=4.

%e 6=U(2), so a(6)=-2.

%Y Cf. A001951, A001952, A130526.

%K sign

%O 0,3
