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”).

A186355
Adjusted joint rank sequence of (f(i)) and (g(j)) with f(i) before g(j) when f(i)=g(j), where f(i)=3i and g(j)=j(j+1)/2 (triangular number). Complement of A186354.

Does this differ (apart from the additional 1) from A089108? - R. J. Mathar, Feb 25 2011
EXAMPLE
First, write
...3..6..9....12..15..18..21..24.. (3*i)
1..3..6....10.....15......21.... (triangular)
Then replace each number by its rank, where ties are settled by ranking 3i before the triangular:
a=(2,4,6,8,9,11,12,14,15,17,....)=A186354
b=(1,3,5,7,10,13,16,20,24,28,...)=A186355.
