%N Solution of the complementary equation a(n) = 4*a(n-2) + b(n-1), where a(0) = 1, a(1) = 3, b(0) = 2, 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 A295053 for a guide to related sequences.
%C The sequence a(n+1)/a(n) appears to have two convergent subsequences, with limits 1.09... and 2.09... .
