The complementary sequences a() and b() are uniquely determined by the titular equation and initial values. The initial values of each sequence in the following guide are a(0) = 1, a(2) = 3, b(0) = 2, b(1) = 4:

EXAMPLE
|
a(0) = 1, a(1) = 3, b(0) = 2, b(1) = 4, so that a(2) = a(1)*b(0) = 6.
Complement: (b(n)) = (2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, ...).
