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”).

%N Adjusted joint rank sequence of (f(i)) and (g(j)) with f(i) after g(j) when f(i)=g(j), where f(i)=5i and g(j)=j(j+1)/2 (triangular number). Complement of A186386.
%e First, write
%e .....5...10..15..20..25..30.. (5*i)
%e 1..3..6..10..15....21..28.. (triangular)
%e Then replace each number by its rank, where ties are settled by ranking 5*i after the triangular:
%e a=(3,6,8,9,11,13,14,16,18,..)=A186385
%e b=(1,2,4,5,7,10,12,15,17,...)=A186386.
%t (* adjusted joint rank sequences a and b, using general formula for ranking 1st degree u*n+v and 2nd degree x*n^2+y*n+z *)
%t d=-1/2; u=5; v=0; x=1/2; y=1/2; (* 5i and triangular *)
%t h[n_]:=(-y+(4x(u*n+v-d)+y^2)^(1/2))/(2x);
%t a[n_]:=n+Floor[h[n]]; (* rank of u*n+v *)
%t k[n_]:=(x*n^2+y*n-v+d)/u;
%t b[n_]:=n+Floor[k[n]]; (* rank of x*n^2+y*n+d *)
