Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N a(n) is the number immediately below n in a clockwise square spiral of the positive integers with the first step to the right.
%C Equivalently the number immediately above n in a counterclockwise square spiral of the positive integers with the first step to the right.
%C This is a permutation of the positive integers. A334751 is the inverse permutation.
