A186352 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 odd numbers and the triangular numbers. Complement of A186353. 4

FORMULA
a(n)=n+floor(-1/2+sqrt(4n-3/4))=A186352(n).
b(n)=n+floor((n^2+n+1)/4)=A186353(n).
EXAMPLE
First, write
1..3..5..7..9..11..13..15..17..21..23.. (odds)
1..3....6.....10.......15......21.... (triangular)
Then replace each number by its rank, where ties are settled by ranking the odd number after the triangular:
a=(2,4,5,7,8,10,11,13,14,15,....)=A186352
b=(1,3,6,9,12,16,21,26,31,37,...)=A186353.

d=-1/2; u=2; v=-1; x=1/2; y=1/2; (* odds and triangular *)
