%N Solution (a(n)) of the complementary equation a(n) = b(4n) + b(5n); see Comments.

%C Define complementary sequences a(n) and b(n) recursively:

%C b(n) = least new,

%C a(n) = b(4n) + b(5n),

%C where "least new" means the least positive integer not yet placed. Empirically, {a(n) - 8*n: n >= 0} = {2,3} and {7*b(n) - 8*n: n >= 0} = {8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17}. See A304799 for a guide to related sequences.

%e b(0) = 1, so that a(0) = 2. Since a(1) = b(4) + b(5), we must have a(1) >= 11, so that b(1) = 3, b(2) = 4, b(3) = 5, b(4) = 6, b(5) = 7, and a(1) = 13.

%t mex[list_, start_] := (NestWhile[# + 1 &, start, MemberQ[list, #] &]);

%t h = 4; k = 5; a = {}; b = {1};

%t AppendTo[a, mex[Flatten[{a, b}], 1]];

%t Do[Do[AppendTo[b, mex[Flatten[{a, b}], Last[b]]], {k}];

%t AppendTo[a, Last[b] + b[[1 + (Length[b] - 1)/k h]]], {500}];

%t Take[a, 200] (* A304815 *)

%t Take[b, 200] (* A304816 *)
