%N Start with the nonnegative integers; then swap L(k) and U(k) for all k >= 1, where L = A000201, U = A001950 (lower and upper Wythoff sequences).

%C (n,a(n)) are Wythoff pairs: (0,0), (1,2), (3,5), (4,7), ..., where each difference occurs once.

%C Self-inverse when considered as a permutation or function, i.e., a(a(n)) = n. - _Howard A. Landman_, Sep 25 2001

%C If the offset is 1, the sequence can also be obtained by rearranging the natural numbers so that sum of n terms is a multiple of n, or equivalently so that the arithmetic mean of the first n terms is an integer. - _Amarnath Murthy_, Aug 16 2002

%C For n = 1, 2, 3, ..., let p(n)=least natural number not already an a(k), q(n) = n + p(n); then a(p(n)) = q(n), a(q(n)) = p(n). - _Clark Kimberling_

%C Also, indices of powers of 2 in A086482. - _Amarnath Murthy_, Jul 26 2003

%C There is a 7-state Fibonacci automaton (see a002251_1.pdf) that accepts, in parallel, the Zeckendorf representations of n and a(n). - _Jeffrey Shallit_, Jul 14 2023
