%N Solution of the complementary equation a(n) = a(n-2) + b(n-1) + 1, where a(0) = 1, a(1) = 3, b(0) = 2.

%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:

%C A294476: a(n) = a(n-2) + b(n-1) + 1

%C A294477: a(n) = a(n-2) + b(n-1) + 2

%C A294478: a(n) = a(n-2) + b(n-1) + 3

%C A294479: a(n) = a(n-2) + b(n-1) + n

%C A294480: a(n) = a(n-2) + b(n-1) + 2n

%C A294481: a(n) = a(n-2) + b(n-1) + n - 1

%C A294482: a(n) = a(n-2) + b(n-1) + n + 1

%C For a(n-2) + b(n-1), with offset 1 instead of 0, see A022942.
