FORMULA

a(n) = (3*A002600(n)+A004736(n)-1-(-1)^A002260(n)+A003056(n)*(-1)^A003057(n))/4;

a(n) = (3*i+j-1-(-1)^i+(i+j-2)*(-1)*t)/4, where i=n-t*(t+1)/2, j=(t*t+3*t+4)/2-n, t=floor((-1+sqrt(8*n-7))/2).

EXAMPLE

The start of the sequence as triangle array read by rows:

1,1;

2,2,3;

1,1,2,2;

3,3,4,4,5;

1,1,2,2,3,3;

4,4,5,5,6,6,7;

1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4;

5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9;

1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5;

. . .

The start of the sequence as array read by rows, the length of row r is 4*r-3.

First 2*r-2 numbers are from the row number 2*r-2 of above triangle array.

Last 2*r-1 numbers are from the row number 2*r-1 of above triangle array.

1,1,2,2,3;

1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5;

1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7;

1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9;

. . .

Row r contains numbers 1,2,3,...2*r-2 repeated twice, row ends 2*r-1.

PROG

(Python)

t=int((math.sqrt(8*n-7) - 1)/ 2)

i=n-t*(t+1)/2

j=(t*t+3*t+4)/2-n

result=(3*i+j-1-(-1)**i+(i+j-2)*(-1)**(i+j))/4
