This is a permutation of the nonnegative integers; it can also be generated by the rule (with m = floor(sqrt(n))): if n - m is not yet in the sequence, a(n) = n - m, otherwise a(n) = n + m. All cycles in this permutation are finite. There is one relatively large cycle starting at n = 4k^2 - 2k + 1 for each k and k 2-cycles for n = (2k - 1)^2 + 2i and (2k - 1)^2 + 2k - 1 + 2i with 0 <= i < k.
