+    r"""Dilation mapping transformer.
+
+    A transformer for applying an index grid dilation mapping to time series data,
+    in the terminology of [1]_.
+
+    This transformation is motivated by kernel dilation, it
+    reorders the timesteps of a time series to simulate the effect of dilation.
+    For instance, in a pipeline, it enables a dilation-like effect for downstream
+    models that do not inherently support such a feature.
+
+    Mathematically, the mapping operates on sequences :math:`x_1, \dots, x_k`.
+    The dilation with factor :math:`d` is defined as the sequence
+    :math:`x_1, x_{1+d}, x_{1+2d}, \dots, x_2, x_{2+d}, x_{2+2d}, \dots, x_d, x_{2d}, \dots`,
+    where the subsequences with grid spacing :math:`d` are maximal.
+
+    The resulting sequence is of equal length to the input sequence.
+
+    This transformer reorders the values, and resets the sequence index
+    to a ``RangeIndex``, if the mtype is ``pandas`` based.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    dilation : int, default=2
+        The dilation factor. Determines the spacing between original data points in the
+        transformed series. Must be an integer greater than 0. A dilation of 1 means no
+        change, while higher values increase the spacing.
