%N a(n) = floor(n / 3) * 3 + sign(n mod 3) * (3 - n mod 3).

%C a(a(n)) = n (a self-inverse permutation).

%C Take natural numbers, exchange trisections starting with 1 and 2.

%C Lodumo_3 of A080425. - _Philippe Deléham_, Apr 26 2009

%C From _Franck Maminirina Ramaharo_, Jul 27 2018: (Start)

%C The sequence is A008585 interleaved with A016789 and A016777.

%C a(n) is also obtained as follows: write n in base 3; if the rightmost digit is '1', then replace it with '2' and vice versa; convert back to decimal. For example a(14) = a('11'2') = '11'1' = 13 and a(10) = a('10'1') = '10'2' = 11. (End)

%C A permutation of the nonnegative integers partitioned into triples [3*k-3, 3*k-1, 3*k-2] for k > 0. - _Guenther Schrack_, Feb 05 2020
