Therefore, a is injective. Is it a bijection when considered as a function from Z to Z? - _David Radcliffe_, May 06 2023 %H A174375 Reinhard Zumkeller, <a href="/A174375/b174375.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..8192</a> %H A174375 Fred Lunnon, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://list.seqfan.eu/pipermail/seqfan/2023-May/074652.html">Sketch of argument that sequence is a permutation of Z</a>, SeqFan mailing list, May 30 2023. %F A174375 a(n) = n^2 - XOR(n^2, n), where XOR is bitwise. %t A174375 Table[n^2-BitXor[n^2,n],{n,0,60}] (* _Harvey P.
