%N The position function the fractalization of which yields A323607.

%C For a definition of the fractalization process, see comments in A194959. The sequence A323607, triangular array where row n is the list of the numbers from 1 to n sorted in Sharkovsky order, is clearly the result of a fractalization. Let {a(n)} (this sequence) be its position function.

%F Empirical observations: (Start)

%F For all odd numbers x >= 3,

%F a(x) = (1/2)*x - 1/2,

%F a(2x) = (3/4)*(2x) - 3/2,

%F a(4x) = (7/8)*(4x) - 5/2,

%F a(8x) = (15/16)*(8x) - 7/2,

%F etc.

%F For all c, a(2^c) = A000325(c) = 2^c-c.

%F Summarized by:

%F a((2^c)*(2k+1)) = A126646(c)*k + A000295(c) + A000007(k) = (2^(c+1)-1)*k + (2^c-1-c) + [k==0].

%F (End)

%F From _Luc Rousseau_, Apr 01 2019: (Start)

%F It appears that for all k > 0,

%F a(4k + 0) = 3k - 2 + a(k),

%F a(4k + 1) = 2k,

%F a(4k + 2) = 3k,

%F a(4k + 3) = 2k + 1.

%F (End)

%e In A323607 in triangular form,

%e - row 5 is: 3 5 4 2 1

%e - row 6 is: 3 5 6 4 2 1

%e Row 6 is row 5 in which 6 has been inserted in position 3, so a(6) = 3.
