Permutation of the natural numbers. a(n) is a pairing function: a function that reversibly maps Z^{+} x Z^{+} onto Z^{+}, where Z^{+} is the set of integer positive numbers.In general, let b(z) be a sequence of integer numbers. Layer is pair of sides of square from T(1,n) to T(n,n) and from T(n,n) to T(n,1). Natural numbers placed in table T(n,k) layer by layer. The order of placement - layer is counterclockwise, if b(z) is odd; layer is clockwise if b(z) is even. T(n,k) read by antidiagonals.For A219159 - the order of the placement - at the beginning m layers counterclockwise, next m layers clockwise and so on - b(z)=floor((z-1)/m)+1. For this sequence b(z)=z^2 mod 3.

FORMULA

For general case.
As table
T(n,k) = ((1+(-1)^(b(k)-1))*(k^2-n+1)-(-1+(-1)^(b(k)-1))*((k-1)^2 +n))/2, if k >= n;
T(n,k) = ((1+(-1)^b(n))*(n^2-k+1)-(-1+(-1)^b(n))*((n-1)^2 +k))/2, if n >k.
As linear sequence
a(n) = ((1+(-1)^(b(j)-1))*(j^2-i+1)-(-1+(-1)^(b(j)-1))*((j-1)^2 +i))/2, if j >= i;
a(n) = ((1+(-1)^b(i))*(i^2-j+1)-(-1+(-1)^b(i))*((i-1)^2 +j))/2, if i >j;
where i=n-t*(t+1)/2, j=(t*t+3*t+4)/2-n, t=floor((-1+sqrt(8*n-7))/2).
For this sequence b(z)=z^2 mod 3.
As table
T(n,k) = ((1+(-1)^(k^2 mod 3-1))*(k^2-n+1)-(-1+(-1)^(k^2 mod 3-1))*((k-1)^2 +n))/2, if k >= n;
T(n,k) = ((1+(-1)^(n^2 mod 3))*(n^2-k+1)-(-1+(-1)^(n^2 mod 3))*((n-1)^2 +k))/2, if n >k.
As linear sequence
a(n) = ((1+(-1)^(j^2 mod 3-1))*(j^2-i+1)-(-1+(-1)^(j^2 mod 3-1))*((j-1)^2 +i))/2, if j >= i;
a(n) = ((1+(-1)^(i^2 mod 3))*(i^2-j+1)-(-1+(-1)^(i^2 mod 3))*((i-1)^2 +j))/2, if i >j;
where i=n-t*(t+1)/2, j=(t*t+3*t+4)/2-n, t=floor((-1+sqrt(8*n-7))/2).
