This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A267181 Array read by antidiagonals: T(i,j) (i>=0, j>=0) = number of steps to reach either top row or main diagonal using the steps (i,j)->(j,i) or (i,j)->(i,j-i).

We start at (i,j) and apply either (i,j) -> (j,i) if i>j or (i,j) -> (i,j-i) if j>i. T(i,j) is the minimal number of steps to reach either (0,k) or (k,k) for some k.
Somewhat analogous to the array in A072030 except that here the offset is different and we pay for transposition steps as well as subtraction steps.

Formula

Recurrence: T(0,k)=TR(k,k)=0; if i>j then T(i,j)=T(j,i)+1; if j>i then T(i,j)=T(i,j-i)+1.
For a > 1 and b,k > 0, T(ak,k) = a, T(ak+b,k) = T(b,k) + a + 2, T(k,ak) = a - 1, T(k,ak+b) = T(k,b) + a. - Charlie Neder, Feb 08 2019
