COMMENTS
In principle this involution is the signature permutation of yet another Catalan automorphism. However, the question remains what is the most "natural" way to create such an automorphism acting e.g. on S-expressions (i.e. rooted plane binary trees), which would produce this sequence as its signature permutation.
FORMULA
a(0)=0, a(n) = A014138(A072643(n)-1) - A082853(n).
PROG
(Scheme:) (define (A130918 n) (if (zero? n) n (- (A014138 (- (A072643 n) 1)) (A082853 n))))
CROSSREFS
Inverse: A130918. Cf. A054429, A057163. The number of cycles and the number of fixed points in range [A014137(n-1)..A014138(n-1)] of this permutation are given by A130380 and A036987.
