%N Solution of the complementary equation a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + b(n-1) + b(n-2) - 2*b(n-3), where a(0) = 1, a(1) = 3, a(2) = 5, b(0) = 2, b(1) = 4, b(2) = 6, and (a(n)) and (b(n)) are increasing complementary sequences.
%C The increasing complementary sequences a() and b() are uniquely determined by the titular equation and initial values. See A295357 for a guide to related sequences.
