Each row is a permutation of nonnegative integers induced by a Catalan bijection (constructed as explained below) acting on the parenthesizations/plane binary trees as encoded and ordered by A014486/A063171.

The construction process is akin to the constructive mapping of primitive recursive functions to N: we have two basic primitives, A069770 (row 0) and A072796 (row 1), of which the former swaps the left and the right subtree of a binary tree and the latter exchanges the positions of the two leftmost subtrees of plane general trees, unless the tree's degree is less than 2, in which case it just fixes it. From then on, the even rows are constructed recursively from any other Catalan bijection in this table, using one of the five allowed recursion types:

0 - Apply the given Catalan bijection and then recurse down to both subtrees of the new binary tree obtained. (last decimal digit of row number = 2)

1 - First recurse down to both subtrees of the old binary tree and only after that apply the given Catalan bijection. (last digit = 4)

2 - Apply the given Catalan bijection and then recurse down to the right subtree of the new binary tree obtained. (last digit = 6)

3 - First recurse down to the right subtree of old binary tree and only after that apply the given Catalan bijection. (last digit = 8)

4 - First recurse down to the left subtree of old binary tree, after that apply the given Catalan bijection and then recurse down to the right subtree of the new binary tree. (last digit = 0)

The odd rows > 2 are compositions of the rows 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, ... (i.e. either one of the primitives A069770 or A072796, or one of the recursive compositions) at the left hand side and any Catalan bijection from the same array at the right hand side. See the scheme-functions index-for-recursive-sgtb and index-for-composed-sgtb how to compute the positions of the recursive and ordinary compositions in this table.

Each row is a permutation of natural numbers and occurs only once. The table is closed with regards to the composition of its rows (see A089839) and it contains the inverse of each (their positions are shown in A089843). The permutations in table form an enumerable subgroup of the group of all size-preserving "Catalan bijections" (bijections among finite unlabeled rooted plane binary trees). The order of each element is shown at A089842.

This bijection effects the following transformation on the unlabeled rooted plane general trees (letters A, B, C, etc. refer to arbitrary subtrees located on those vertices):

A A A B B A A B C B A C

| --> | \ / --> \ / \ | / --> \ | /

| | \./ \./ \|/ \|/ etc.

I.e., it keeps "planted" (root degree = 1) trees intact, and swaps the two leftmost toplevel subtrees of the general trees that have a root degree > 1.

On the level of underlying binary trees that general trees map to (see, e.g., 1967 paper by N. G. De Bruijn and B. J. M. Morselt, or consider lists vs. dotted pairs in Lisp programming language), this bijection effects the following transformation on the unlabeled rooted plane binary trees (letters A, B, C refer to arbitrary subtrees located on those nodes and () stands for an implied terminal node).

B C A C

\ / \ /

A x --> B x A () A ()

\ / \ / \ / --> \ /

x x x x

(a . (b . c)) -> (b . (a . c)) (a . ()) ---> (a . ())

Note that the first clause corresponds to what is called "generator pi_0" in Thompson's group V. (See also A074679, A089851 and A154121 for other related generators.)

Look at the example section to see how this will produce the given sequence of integers.

Applying this permutation recursively down the right hand side branch of the binary trees (or equivalently, along the topmost level of the general trees) produces permutations A057509 and A057510 (that occur at the same index 2 in tables A122203 and A122204) that effect "shallow rotation" on general trees and parenthesizations. Applying it recursively down the both branches of binary trees (as in pre- or postorder traversal) produces A057511 and A057512 (that occur at the same index 2 in tables A122201 and A122201) that effect "deep rotation" on general trees and parenthesizations.

For this permutation, A127301(a(n)) = A127301(n) for all n, which in turn implies A129593(a(n)) = A129593(n) for all n, likewise for all such recursively generated bijections as A057509 - A057512. Compare also to A072797.

a(0)=0 because A057123(0)=0, but a(n) = 0 also for those n which do not occur as values of A057123. All positive natural numbers occur here once.

If g(n) = A083927(f(A057123(n))) then we can say that Catalan bijection g embeds into Catalan bijection f in scale n:2n, using the obvious binary tree -> general tree embedding. E.g. we have: A057163 = A083927(A057164(A057123(n))), A057117 = A083927(A072088(A057123(n))), A057118 = A083927(A072089(A057123(n))), A069770 = A083927(A072796(A057123(n))), A072797 = A083927(A072797(A057123(n))).

This automorphism effects the following transformation on the unlabeled rooted plane binary trees (letters A, B, C refer to arbitrary subtrees located on those nodes and () stands for an implied terminal node.)

.....B...C.......B...A

......\./.........\./

...A...x...-->... .x...C...............A..().........()..A..

If the signature-permutation of a Catalan automorphism SP satisfies the condition A129593(SP(n)) = A129593(n) for all n, then it is called a Łukasiewicz-word permuting automorphism. In addition to all the automorphisms whose signature permutation satisfies the more restricted condition A127301(SP(n)) = A127301(n) for all n, this includes also certain automorphisms like *A072797 that do not preserve the non-oriented form of the general tree. A000041(n) distinct values occur in each range [A014137(n-1)..A014138(n-1)]. All natural numbers occur. Cf. A129599.
