%N Solution b( ) of the complementary equation a(n) = b(n-1) + b(n-3), where a(0) = 2, a(1) = 3, a(2) = 4; see Comments.

%C From the Bode-Harborth-Kimberling link:

%C a(n) = b(n-1) + b(n-3) for n > 3;

%C b(0) = least positive integer not in {a(0),a(1),a(2)};

%C b(n) = least positive integer not in {a(0),...,a(n),b(0),...,b(n-1)} for n > 1.

%C Note that (b(n)) is strictly increasing and is the complement of (a(n)).

%C See A022424 for a guide to related sequences.
