%N Solution a( ) of the complementary equation a(n) = b(n-1) + b(n-2), where a(0) = 3, a(1) = 5; see Comments.
%C a(n) = b(n-1) + b(n-2) for n > 2;
%C b(0) = least positive integer not in {a(0),a(1)};
%C b(n) = least positive integer not in {a(0),...,a(n),b(0),...b(n-1)} for n > 1.
%C Note that (b(n)) is strictly increasing and is the complement of (a(n)).
%C See A022424 for a guide to related sequences.
