%N Solution (c(n)) of the system of 3 equations in Comments.
%C Define sequences a(n), b(n), c(n) recursively, starting with a(0) = 1, b(0) = 2:
%C a(n) = least new;
%C b(n) = a(n) + b(n-1);
%C c(n) = a(n) + 2 b(n);
%C where "least new k" means the least positive integer not yet placed.
%C ***
%C Do these sequences a,b,c partition the positive integers? They differ from the corresponding partitioning sequences A298871, A298872, and A298872. For example, A298872(56) = 2139, whereas A298875(56) = 2138.
%C Differs from A298873 first at n=56. - _Georg Fischer_, Oct 10 2018
