A296220 Solution of the complementary equation a(n) = a(0)*b(n-1) + a(1)*b(n-2), where a(0) = 1, a(1) = 2, b(0) = 3, and (a(n)) and (b(n)) are increasing complementary sequences. 4

%N Solution of the complementary equation a(n) = a(0)*b(n-1) + a(1)*b(n-2), where a(0) = 1, a(1) = 2, b(0) = 3, 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 A295862 for a guide to related sequences.

%C P. Majer proved that a(n)/n -> 4, that (a(n) - 4*n) is unbounded, and that a( ) is not a linear recurrence sequence; see the Math Overflow link and A297964. - _Clark Kimberling_, Feb 10 2018
