COMMENTS

The complementary sequences a() and b() are uniquely determined by the titular equation and initial values. See A293076 for a guide to related sequences.
Conjecture: a(n)/a(n-1) -> (1 + sqrt(5))/2, the golden ratio.

EXAMPLE

a(0) = 1, a(1) = 3, b(0) = 2, b(1) = 4, so that
a(2) = a(1) + a(0) + b(0) + 3 = 9;
a(3) = a(2) + a(1) + b(1) + 1 = 19.
Complement: (b(n)) = (2,4,5,6,7,8,10,11,12,13,14,...)
