Solution of the complementary equation a(n) = a(n-2) + 2*b(n-2), where a(0) = 1, a(1) = 2, b(0) = 3, and (a(n)) and (b(n)) are increasing complementary sequences.

COMMENTS
The increasing complementary sequences a() and b() are uniquely determined by the titular equation and initial values. See A294860 for a guide to related sequences.

EXAMPLE
a(0) = 1, a(1) = 2, b(0) = 3
b(1) = 4 (least "new number")
a(2) = a(0) + 2*b(0) = 7
Complement: (b(n)) = (3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, ...)
