%N Solution of the complementary equation a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + b(n-1) - b(n-2) + n, where a(0) = 1, a(1) = 2, b(0) = 3, and (a(n)) and (b(n)) are increasing complementary sequences.
%C The increasing complementary sequences a() and b() are uniquely determined by the titular equation and initial values. See A294532 for a guide to related sequences. Conjecture: a(n)/a(n-1) -> (1 + sqrt(5))/2 = golden ratio (A001622).
