Solution (a(n)) of the near-complementary equation a(n) = a(1)*b(n-1) - a(0)*b(n-2) + n, where a(0) = 1, a(1) = 2, b(0) = 3, b(1) = 4, and (b(n)) is the increasing sequence of positive integers not in (a(n)). See Comments.

COMMENTS

The sequence (a(n)) generated by the equation a(n) = a(1)*b(n-1) - a(0)*b(n-2) + n, with initial values as shown, includes duplicates; e.g. a(18) = a(19) = 51. If the duplicates are removed from (a(n)), the resulting sequence and (b(n)) are complementary. Conjectures:
(1) 0 <= a(k) - a(k-1) <= 6 for k>=1;
(2) if d is in {0,1,2,3,4,5,6}, then a(k) = a(k-1) + d for infinitely many k.

EXAMPLE
|
a(0) = 1, a(1) = 2, b(0) = 3, b(1) = 4, so that a(2) = 7.
Complement: (b(n)) = (3, 4, 5, 6, 8,10,12,13,14,16, ...)
