%N Solution (bb(n)) of the system of 3 complementary equations in Comments.

%C Define sequences aa(n), bb(n), cc(n) recursively, starting with aa(0) = 1, bb(0) = 2, cc(0) = 3:

%C aa(n) = least new;

%C bb(n) = aa(n) + cc(n-1);

%C cc(n) = least new;

%C where "least new k" means the least positive integer not yet placed.

%C ***

%C The sequences aa,bb,cc partition the positive integers. It appears that cc = A047218 and that for every n >= 0,

%C (1) 5*n - 1 - 2*aa(n) is in {0,1,2},

%C (2) (aa(n) mod 5) is in {1,2,4},

%C (3) 5*n - 3 - bb(n) is in {0,1} for every n >= 0;

%C (4) (bb(n) mod 5) is in {1,2}.

%C From _N. J. A. Sloane_, Nov 05 2019: (Start)

%C Conjecture: For t >= 0, bb(2t) = 10t + 1 (+1 if binary expansion of t ends in an odd number of 0's), bb(2t+1) = 10t + 7.

%C The first part may also be written as bb(2t) = 10t + 1 + A328789(t-1).

%C (End)
