COMMENT

A permutation of the natural numbers.

Beginning at row 6, the columns obey a 3rd-order recurrence:

c(n)=c(n-1)+c(n-2)-c(n-3)+1.

Except for initial terms, the first seven rows are A028387, A002378,

A005563, A028552, A008865, A014209, A028873, and the first column, A004652.

FORMULA

Let S(n,k) denote the kth term in the n-th row. Four cases:

S(1,k)=k^2+k-1

S(2,k)=k^2+k

if n>1 is odd, then S(n,k)=k^2+(n-1)k+(n-1)(n-3)/4

if n>2 is even, then S(n,k)= k^2+(n-1)k+n(n-4)/4.

EXAMPLE

Corner:

1....5...11...19

2....6...12...20

3....8...15...24

4...10...18...28

The double interspersion A161179 begins thus:

1....4....7...12...17...24

2....3....8...11...18...23

5....6...13...16...25...30

9...10...19...22...33...38

Expel the odd-numbered columns and then swap

rows 1 and 2, leaving

3....11...23...39

4....12...24...40

6....16...30...48

10...22...38...58

Then replace each of those numbers by its rank

when all the numbers are jointly ranked.
