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

%C The complementary sequences a() and b() are uniquely determined by the titular equation and initial values, which for each sequence in the following guide are a(0) = 1, a(2) = 3, b(0) = 2, b(1) = 4:

%C A293076: a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + b(n-2)

%C A293316: a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + b(n-2) + 1

%C A293057: a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + b(n-2) + 2

%C A293058: a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + b(n-2) + 3

%C A293317: a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + b(n-2) - 1

%C A293349: a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + b(n-2) + n

%C A293350: a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + b(n-2) + 2*n

%C A293351: a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + b(n-2) + n - 1

%C A293357: a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + b(n-2) + n + 1

%C Conjecture: a(n)/a(n-1) -> (1 + sqrt(5))/2, the golden ratio.

%e a(0) = 1, a(1) = 3, b(0) = 2, b(1) = 4, so that

%e a(3) = a(2) + a(1) + b(1) = 6 + 3 + 4 = 13.
