%N Position of 3*n^6 in the ordered union of {h^6, h >=1} and {3*k^6, k >=1}.

%C Let S = {h^6, h >=1} and T = {3*k^6, k >=1}. Then S and T are disjoint, with ordered union given by A249097. The position of n^6 is A249098(n), and the position of 3*n^6 is A249099(n). Also, a(n) is the position of n in the joint ranking of the positive integers and the numbers k*3^(1/6), so that A249098 and A249099 are a pair of Beatty sequences.

%F Empirical g.f.: x*(3*x^4+2*x^3+2*x^2+2*x+2) / ((x-1)^2*(x^4+x^3+x^2+x+1)). - _Colin Barker_, Oct 22 2014

%F Conjecture: a(n) = 2n + floor(n/5). - _Wesley Ivan Hurt_, Dec 28 2016

%e {h^6, h >=1} = {1, 64, 729, 4096, 15625, 46656, 117649, ...};

%e {3*k^6, k >=1} = {3, 192, 2187, 12288, 46875, 139968, ...};

%e so the ordered union is {1, 3, 64, 192, 729, 2187, 4096, 12288, ...}, and

%e a(2) = 4 because 3*2^6 is in position 4.

%t z = 200; s = Table[h^6, {h, 1, z}]; t = Table[3*k^6, {k, 1, z}]; u = Union[s, t];

%t v = Sort[u] (* A249073 *)

%t m = Min[120, Position[v, 2*z^2]]

%t Flatten[Table[Flatten[Position[v, s[[n]]]], {n, 1, m}]] (* A249098 *)

%t Flatten[Table[Flatten[Position[v, t[[n]]]], {n, 1, m}]] (* A249099 *)

%Y Cf. A249097, A249099.
