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.

EXAMPLE
a(0) = 2, a(1) = 4, b(0) = 1, b(1) = 3, b(2) = 5
a(2) = a(0) + a(1) + 2*b(1) = 12
Complement: (b(n)) = (1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, ...)
