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”).

A096032
Take pairs (a, b), sorted on a, such that T(a)+T(b)=concatenation of a and b, where T(k) is the k-th triangular number A000217(k). Sequence gives values of b.

COMMENTS
For values of a see A096031.
It is easier to generate the pairs sorted by b. A d-digit number b is a member iff 4*(10^(2*d)-10^d-b^2+b)+1 is a square. All such b occur twice, except for 1, which occurs once. There are no members with 2, 6, 7, or 8 digits. There are six distinct nine-digit members. - David Wasserman, May 15 2007

EXAMPLE
1726 of the sequence forms a pair with 150 and we indeed have T(150)+T(1726)=11325+1490401=1501726.
