%N Solution of the complementary equation a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + b(n-2) + n -1, where a(0) = 1, a(1) = 3, b(0) = 2, b(1) = 4.

%C The complementary sequences a() and b() are uniquely determined by the titular equation and initial values. See A293076 for a guide to related sequences.

%C Conjecture: a(n)/a(n-1) -> (1 + sqrt(5))/2, the golden ratio.

%e a(0) = 1, a(1) = 3, b(0) = 2, b(1) = 4, so that

%e a(2) = a(1) + a(0) + b(0) + 1 = 7;

%e a(3) = a(2) + a(1) + b(1) + 2 = 16.

%e Complement: (b(n)) = (2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14,...)
