A298295 Solution a( ) of the complementary equation a(n) = a(0)*b(n) + a(1)*b(n-1), where a(0) = 1, a(1) = 2, b(0) = 3, b(1) = 4, b(2) = 5, and (b(n)) is the increasing sequence of positive integers not in (a(n)). See Comments. 4

%N Solution a( ) of the complementary equation a(n) = a(0)*b(n) + a(1)*b(n-1), where a(0) = 1, a(1) = 2, b(0) = 3, b(1) = 4, b(2) = 5, and (b(n)) is the increasing sequence of positive integers not in (a(n)). See Comments.

%C The increasing complementary sequences a() and b() are uniquely determined by the titular equation and initial values.
