Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A186220
Adjusted joint rank sequence of (g(i)) and (f(j)) with f(i) before g(j) when f(i)=g(j), where f and g are the triangular numbers and squares. Complement of A186219.

EXAMPLE
First, write
1..3...6..10..15...21..28..36..45... (triangular)
1....4.. 9......16...25....36....49.. (square)
Replace each number by its rank, where ties are settled by ranking the triangular number before the square:
a=(1,3,5,7,8,10,12,13,...) = A186219;
b=(2,4,6,9,11,14,16,18,...) = A186220.
