A186331
Adjusted joint rank sequence of (f(i)) and (g(j)) with f(i) after g(j) when f(i)=g(j), where f and g are the pentagonal numbers and the hexagonal numbers. Complement of A186330.

Does this differ from A186329 only at a(1)? - R. J. Mathar, Jan 09 2024
EXAMPLE
First, write
1..5...12....22.....35...... (pentagonal)
1....6....15....28.......45.. (hexagonal)
Then replace each number by its rank, where ties are settled by ranking the pentagonal after the hexagonal:
a=(2,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,16,....)=A186330
b=(1,4,6,8,10,12,14,17,19,...)=A186331.
