Solution of the complementary equation a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + b(n), where a(0) = 2, a(1) = 3, b(0) = 1, b(1) = 4, b(2) = 5, and (a(n)) and (b(n)) are increasing complementary sequences.

COMMENTS

The increasing complementary sequences a() and b() are uniquely determined by the titular equation and initial values. a(n)/a(n-1) -> (1 + sqrt(5))/2 = golden ratio (A001622).

See A295862 for a guide to related sequences.

FORMULA

a(n) = H + R, where H = f(n-1)*a(0) + f(n)*a(1) and R = f(n-1)*b(2) + f(n-2)*b(3) + ... + f(2)*b(n-1) + f(1)*b(n), where f(n) = A000045(n), the n-th Fibonacci number.

EXAMPLE

a(0) = 2, a(1) = 3, b(0) = 1, b(1) = 4, b(2) = 5;

b(3) = 6 (least "new number");

a(2) = a(1) + a(0) + b(2) = 10;

Complement: (b(n)) = (1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, ...)

MATHEMATICA

a[0] = 2; a[1] = 3; b[0] = 1; b[1] = 4; b[2] = 5;

a[n_] := a[n] = a[n - 1] + a[n - 2] + b[n];

j = 1; While[j < 5, k = a[j] - j - 1;

While[k < a[j + 1] - j + 1, b[k] = j + k + 2; k++]; j++];
