%N Solution (b(n)) of the system of 3 complementary equations in Comments.

%C Define sequences a(n), b(n), c(n) recursively, starting with a(0) = 1, b(0) = 2, c(0) = 4:

%C a(n) = least new;

%C b(n) = a(n-1)+c(n-1);

%C c(n) = 2 a(n) + b(n);

%C where "least new k" means the least positive integer not yet placed. The sequences a,b,c partition the positive integers.
