COMMENTS
The increasing complementary sequences a() and b() are uniquely determined by the titular equation and initial values. a(n)/a(n-1) -> (1 + sqrt(5))/2 = golden ratio (A001622). See A296245 for a guide to related sequences.

FORMULA
a(n) = H + R, where H = f(n-1)*a(0) + f(n)*a(1) and R = f(n-1)*b(2)^2 + f(n-2)*b(3)^2 + ... + f(2)*b(n-1)^2 + f(1)*b(n)^2, where f(n) = A000045(n), the n-th Fibonacci number.
EXAMPLE
a(0) = 2, a(1) = 3, b(0) = 1, b(1) = 4, b(2) = 5;
a(2) = a(0) + a(1) + b(2) = 30
Complement: (b(n)) = (1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, ...)
