A349520 Let S_k denote the list of pairs (1,k), (2,k), (3,k), ..., (k,k); sequence lists the pairs in S_1, S_2, S_3, ...

Comments

Concatenate segments: 1 1, then 1 2 2 2, then 1 3 2 3 3 3, so that the general segment is 1 n 2 n ... n n. This is followed by 1; thus, not only does every i,j with i <= j occur, but so does every i,j with i >= j. Every pair i,j of positive integers with i < j or i > j occurs exactly once.
