A186324 Adjusted joint rank sequence of (f(i)) and (g(j)) with f(i) before g(j) when f(i)=g(j), where f and g are the squares and octagonal numbers. Complement of A186325.

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..100.

Example

First, write
1..4...9..16....25..36....49..64...  (squares)
1....8.......21........40........65. (octagonal)
Replace each number by its rank, where ties are settled by ranking the square number before the octagonal:
a=(1,3,5,6,8,9,11,12,14,...)=A186324
b=(2,4,7,10,13,15,18,21,...)=A186325.

Mathematica

(* adjusted joint ranking; general formula *)
d=1/2; u=1; v=0; w=0; x=3; y=-2; z=0;
h[n_]:=-y+(4x(u*n^2+v*n+w-z-d)+y^2)^(1/2);
a[n_]:=n+Floor[h[n]/(2x)];
k[n_]:=-v+(4u(x*n^2+y*n+z-w+d)+v^2)^(1/2);
b[n_]:=n+Floor[k[n]/(2u)];
