%N Let sequences X and Y consist of the least positive integers such that 2X+Y is the complement of X and X+Y is the complement of Y, starting with X(1)=1 and Y(1)=1; then this sequence equals X+Y, while X=A141204, 2X+Y=A141205, Y=A141206.

%C Complement of A141207.

%F CONJECTURES on evaluating limits.

%F The following limits exist for some irrational q and r:

%F Limit X(n)/n = 1 + q, Limit {2X+Y}(n)/n = 1 + 1/q and

%F Limit Y(n)/n = 1 + r, Limit {X+Y}(n)/n = 1 + 1/r.

%F Thus q and r can be defined by:

%F Limit X(n)/{2X+Y}(n) = q = (1 + q)/(3 + 2*q + r) and

%F Limit Y(n)/{X+Y}(n) = r = (1 + r)/(2 + r + q).

%F Therefore q = least positive real root that satisfies:

%F 1 - 4*q + 2*q^2 + 2*q^3 = 0, giving q = 0.31544880690757230308868993...

%F Also, r = least positive real root that satisfies:

%F 2 - 4*r + r^3 = 0, giving r = 0.5391888728108891165258759...

%e Union of X and 2X+Y = positive integers:

%e 2X+Y=[3,7,12,16,19,25,28,32,36,41,44,48,54,57,63,66,70,...].
