A164286 Sequence resulting from an infinite series of reordering steps applied to the sequence of natural numbers A000027: At step n, when number n is at position p, the number k at position p+n is moved to position p+1. 3

COMMENTS

It seems that a(n)/n > 3 for all n > 40.

This sequence is not a permutation of the natural numbers.

MAPLE

MATHEMATICA
