Solution: 2020-03 Graceful permutations

A permutation \( \pi : [n]\rightarrow [n] \) is graceful if \( |\pi(i+1) – \pi(i)| \neq |\pi(j+1)-\pi(j)| \) for all \(i\neq j \in [n-1]\). For a graceful permutation \( \pi :[2k+1] \rightarrow [2k+1] \) with \( \pi(\{2,4,\dots,2k\}) = [k] \), prove that \(\pi(1)+ \pi(2k+1) = 3k+2 \).
