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).

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).

EXAMPLE

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

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

a(2) = a(1) + a(0) + b(2) + 1 = 11

Complement: (b(n)) = (2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, ...)
