%C Permutation of the natural numbers.

%C 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.

%C Enumeration table T(n,k). Let m be natural number. The order of the list:

%C T(1,1)=1;

%C T(3,1), T(2,2), T(1,3);

%C T(1,2), T(2,1);

%C . . .

%C T(2*m+1,1), T(2*m,2), T(2*m-1,3),...T(2,2*m), T(1,2*m+1);

%C T(1,2*m), T(2,2*m-1), T(3,2*m-2),...T(2*m-1,2),T(2*m,1);

%C . . .

%C First row contains antidiagonal {T(1,2*m+1), ... T(2*m+1,1)}, read upwards.

%C Second row contains antidiagonal {T(1,2*m), ... T(2*m,1)}, read downwards.
