Comments

The Eytzinger layout arranges elements of an array so that a binary search can be performed starting with index k = 1 and at a given k step to 2*k or 2*k+1, according to whether the target is smaller or larger than the element at k.

Row n is formed by: Take a binary search tree of n vertices which is a complete tree except for a possibly incomplete last row; number the vertices 1 to n by an in-order traversal; then read those vertex numbers row-wise (breadth first).
