%N Triangle of the natural numbers written by decreasing antidiagonals.

%C A permutation of the natural numbers.

%C a(n) and A091995(n) are different at the ninth term.

%C Antidiagonal sums: 1, 2, 7, 11, ... = A235355(n+1). Same idea.

%C Row sums: 1, 5, 16, 37, 72, 124, 197, 294, ... = 7*n^3/12 -n^2/8 +5*n/12 +1/16 -1/16*(-1)^n with g.f. x*(1+2*x+3*x^2+x^3) / ( (1+x)*(x-1)^4 ). The third difference is of period 2: repeat [3, 4].

%C Indicates the order in which electrons fill the different atomic orbitals (s,p,d,f,g,h). - _Alexander Goebel_, May 12 2020
