COMMENT

The sums are the difference of two triangular numbers A000217. The common numbers themselves are A094550. The sums, n>0, are n=(b-a+1)(a+b)/2=(b+c)(c-b+1)/2 where b^2+a-a^2=c^2+c-b^2, is solvable in integers for 0<a<b<c. Since the runs have something in comon, they are "friends". The series of sums *without* the common number is A110702. The numbers common to the two runs are A094550.

EXAMPLE

2+3+4=4+5 share the common number 4. The sum of both is 9 and this is the smallest such sum with a common "friend" (4), so a(1)=9.
