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.

Row n is the signature permutation of the Catalan automorphism which is obtained from the n-th nonrecursive automorphism in the table A089840 with the recursion scheme "SPINE". In this recursion scheme the given automorphism is first applied at the root of binary tree, before the algorithm recurses down to the new right-hand side branch. The associated Scheme-procedures SPINE and !SPINE can be used to obtain such a transformed automorphism from any constructively or destructively implemented automorphism. Each row occurs only once in this table. Inverses of these permutations can be found in table A122204.

The recursion scheme SPINE has a well-defined inverse, that is, it acts as a bijective mapping on the set of all Catalan automorphisms. Specifically, if g = SPINE(f), then (f s) = (cond ((pair? s) (let ((t (g s))) (cons (car t) (g^{-1} (cdr t))))) (else s)) that is, to obtain an automorphism f which gives g when subjected to recursion scheme SPINE, we compose g with its own inverse applied to the cdr-branch of a S-expression. This implies that for any non-recursive automorphism f in the table A089840, SPINE^{-1}(f) is also in A089840, which in turn implies that the rows of table A089840 form a (proper) subset of the rows of this table.

This permutation is induced by a wreath recursion a = s(a,b), b = (b,b) (i.e., binary transducer, where s means that the bits at that state are toggled: 0 <-> 1) given on page 103 of the Bondarenko, Grigorchuk, et al. paper, starting from the active (swapping) state a and rewriting bits from the second most significant bit to the least significant end, continuing complementing as long as the first 1-bit is reached, which is the last bit to be complemented.

The automorphism group of infinite binary tree (isomorphic to an infinitely iterated wreath product of cyclic groups of two elements) embeds naturally into the group of "size-preserving Catalan bijections". Scheme-function psi gives an isomorphism that maps this kind of permutation to the corresponding Catalan automorphism/bijection (that acts on S-expressions). The following identities hold: *A069770 = psi(A063946) (just swap the left and right subtrees of the root), *A057163 = psi(A054429) (reflect the whole tree), *A069767 = psi(A153141), *A069768 = psi(A153142), *A122353 = psi(A006068), *A122354 = psi(A003188), *A122301 = psi(A154435), *A122302 = psi(A154436) and from *A154449 = psi(A154439) up to *A154458 = psi(A154448).

a(1) to a(2^n) is the sequence of row sequency numbers in a Hadamard-Walsh matrix of order 2^n, when constructed to give "dyadic" or Payley sequency ordering. - Ross Drewe, Mar 15 2014

In the Stern-Brocot enumeration system for positive rationals (A007305/A047679), this permutation converts the denominator into the numerator: A007305(n) = A047679(a(n)). - Yosu Yurramendi, Aug 01 2020

This automorphism of binary trees first swaps the left and right subtree of the root and then proceeds recursively to the (new) left subtree, to do the same operation there. This is one of those Catalan bijections which extend to a unique automorphism of the infinite binary tree, which in this case is A153142. See further comments there and in A153141.

This bijection, Knack, is a ENIPS-transformation of the simple swap: ENIPS(*A069770) (i.e., row 1 of A122204). Furthermore, Knack and Knick (the inverse, A069767) have a special property, that FORK and KROF transforms (explained in A122201 and A122202) transform them to their own inverses, i.e., to each other: FORK(Knick) = KROF(Knick) = Knack and FORK(Knack) = KROF(Knack) = Knick, thus this occurs also as row 1 in A122288 and naturally, the double-fork fixes both, e.g., FORK(FORK(Knack)) = Knack.

Note: the name in Finnish is "Naks".

Row n is the signature permutation of the Catalan automorphism which is obtained from A057163-conjugate of the n-th automorphism in the table A122204 with the recursion scheme "SPINE", i.e. row n is obtained as SPINE(A057163 o ENIPS(A089840[n]) o A057163). See A122203 and A122204 for the description of SPINE and ENIPS. Each row occurs only once in this table. Inverses of these permutations can be found in table A130402. This table contains also all the rows of A122203 and A089840.

Row n is the signature permutation of the Catalan automorphism which is obtained from the n-th automorphism in the table A122204 with the recursion scheme "SPINE", or equivalently row n is obtained as SPINE(ENIPS(n-th row of A089840)). See A122203 and A122204 for the description of SPINE and ENIPS. Each row occurs only once in this table. Inverses of these permutations can be found in table A122285. This table contains also all the rows of A122203 and A089840.

Row n is the signature permutation of the Catalan automorphism which is obtained from the n-th automorphism in the table A122204 with the recursion scheme "FORK", or equivalently row n is obtained as FORK(ENIPS(n-th row of A089840)). See A122201 and A122204 for the description of FORK and ENIPS. Moreover, each row of A122287 can be obtained as the "DEEPEN" transform of the corresponding row in A122286. (See A122283 for the description of DEEPEN). Each row occurs only once in this table. Inverses of these permutations can be found in table A122288. This table contains also all the rows of A122201 and A089840.

This sequence maps A000108(n) oriented (plane) rooted binary trees encoded in range [A014137(n-1)..A014138(n-1)] of A014486 to A001190(n+1) non-oriented rooted binary trees, encoded by their Matula-Goebel numbers (when viewed as a subset of non-oriented rooted general trees). See also the comments at A127301.

If the signature-permutation of a Catalan automorphism SP satisfies the condition A127302(SP(n)) = A127302(n) for all n, then it preserves the non-oriented form of a binary tree. Examples of such automorphisms include A069770, A057163, A122351, A069767/A069768, A073286-A073289, A089854, A089859/A089863, A089864, A122282, A123492-A123494, A123715/A123716, A127377-A127380, A127387 and A127388.

A153835 divides natural numbers to same equivalence classes, i.e. a(i) = a(j) <=> A153835(i) = A153835(j) - Antti Karttunen, Jan 03 2013

This is a permutation of natural numbers induced when Euler's triangulation of convex polygons, encoded by the sequence A014486 in a straightforward way (via binary trees, cf. the illustration of the rotation of a triangulated pentagon, given in the Links section) are rotated counterclockwise.

The number of cycles in range [A014137(n-1)..A014138(n)] of this permutation is given by A001683(n+2), otherwise the same sequence as for Catalan bijections *A074679/*A074680, but shifted once left (for an explanation, see the related notes in OEIS Wiki).

E.g., in range [A014137(0)..A014138(1)] = [1,1] there is one cycle (as a(1)=1), in range [A014137(1)..A014138(2)] = [2,3] there is one cycle (as a(2)=3 and a(3)=2), in range [A014137(2)..A014138(3)] = [4,8] there is also one cycle (as a(4) = 7, a(7) = 6, a(6) = 5, a(5) = 8 and a(8) = 4), and in range [A014137(3)..A014138(4)] = [9,22] there are A001683(4+2) = 4 cycles.

From the recursive forms of A057161 and A057503 it is seen that both can be viewed as a convergent limits of a process where either the left or right side argument of A085201 in formula for A057501 is "iteratively recursivized", and on the other hand, both of these can then in turn be made to converge towards A057505 by the same method, when the other side of the formula is also "recursivized".
