COMMENTS
Also triangle read by rows which gives the odd-indexed rows of triangle A014132.
There are no triangular number (A000217) in this sequence.
For more information about the symmetric representation of sigma see A237593 and its related sequences.
Equivalently, numbers k with the property that both Dyck paths of the symmetric representation of sigma(k) have an odd number of peaks. - Omar E. Pol, Sep 13 2018
EXAMPLE
Written as an irregular triangle in which the row lengths are the odd numbers, the sequence begins:
2;
7, 8, 9;
16, 17, 18, 19, 20;
29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35;
46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54;
67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77;
92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104;
121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135;

For the first nine terms of the sequence we can see in the above diagram that both Dyck path (the smallest and the largest) of the symmetric representation of sigma(k) have a central peak.
Compare with A317304.
CROSSREFS
Column 1 gives A130883, n >= 1.
Column 2 gives A033816, n >= 1.
Row sums give the odd-indexed terms of A006002.
Some other sequences related to the central peak or the central valley of the symmetric representation of sigma are A000217, A000384, A007606, A007607, A014105, A014132, A162917, A161983, A317304. See also A317306.
