FORMULA
a(n) = n + floor(n^(s/r)); the complement is given by n + floor(n^(r/s)).
EXAMPLE
The first numbers in the joint ranking are
2^r < 2^s < 3^r < 4^r < 3^s < 5^r < 4^s < 6^r, so that a(n) = (2,5,7,...).
MATHEMATICA
z = 150; r = N[Sqrt[3], 100]; s = N[Sqrt[5], 100];
u = Table[n + Floor[n^(s/r)], {n, 2, z}];
v = Table[n + Floor[n^(r/s)], {n, 2, z^(s/r)}];
w = Union[u, v];
Flatten[Table[Position[w, u[[n]]], {n, 1, z}]] (* A276213 *)
Flatten[Table[Position[w, v[[n]]], {n, 1, z}]] (* A276214 *)
