%N Solution of the complementary equation a(n) = a(n-1)*b(n-2), where a(0) = 1, a(1) = 3, b(0) = 2, b(1) = 4.
%C The complementary sequences a() and b() are uniquely determined by the titular equation and initial values. The initial values of each sequence in the following guide are a(0) = 1, a(2) = 3, b(0) = 2, b(1) = 4:
%C A294381: a(n) = a(n-1)*b(n-2)
%C A294382: a(n) = a(n-1)*b(n-2) - 1
%C A294383: a(n) = a(n-1)*b(n-2) + 1
%C A294384: a(n) = a(n-1)*b(n-2) - n
%C A294385: a(n) = a(n-1)*b(n-2) + n
