%N Recursive sequence based on the central polygonal numbers (A000124) and A004736.

%C Conjectured to be a permutation of the natural numbers.

%C The central polygonal numbers can be constructed by starting with the natural numbers, setting A000124(0)=1 and obtaining A000124(n+1) by reversing the order of the next A000124(n) numbers after A000124(n). This procedure doesn't produce a permutation of the natural numbers for A000124 because the sequence is strictly increasing. The present sequence is constructed by the same procedure, except that a(n+1) is obtained by reversing the next a(A004736(n)) numbers.

%H Max Barrentine, <a href="/A271863/b271863.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1082</a>

%e Start with the natural numbers:

%e 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...

%e a(A004736(1))=1, so reverse the order of the next term, leaving the sequence unchanged:

%e (1)

%e 1, (2), 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...

%e a(A004736(2))=2, so reverse the order of the next 2 terms:

%e (2)

%e 1, 2, (4, 3), 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...

%e a(A004736(3))=1, so reverse the order of the next term, leaving the sequence unchanged:

%e (1)

%e 1, 2, 4, (3), 5, 6, 7, 8...

%e a(A004736(4))=4, so reverse the order of the next 4 terms:

%e (4)

%e 1, 2, 4, 3, (8, 7, 6, 5)...

%e a(A004736(5))=2, so reverse the order of the next 2 terms:

%e (2)

%e 1, 2, 4, 3, 8, (6, 7), 5...

%e a(A004736(6))=1, so reverse the order of the next term, leaving the sequence unchanged:

%e (1)

%e 1, 2, 4, 3, 8, 6, (7), 5...

%Y Cf. A000124, A004736.

%K nonn
