%C Permutation of the positive natural numbers with inverse A225047: a(A225047(n)) = A225047(a(n)) = n. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Apr 25 2013

%C I confirm that this is a permutation. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Mar 28 2015 [This can be proved using an argument similar to (but simpler than) the proof in A093714. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, May 05 2022]
