This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

Comments

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:
A293358: a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + b(n-1)
A293406: a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + b(n-1) + 1
A293765: a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + b(n-1) + 2
A293766: a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + b(n-1) + 3
A293767: a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + b(n-1) - 1
A294365: a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + b(n-1) + n
A294366: a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + b(n-1) + 2n
A294367: a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + b(n-1) + n - 1
A294368: a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + b(n-1) + n + 1
Conjecture: a(n)/a(n-1) -> (1 + sqrt(5))/2, the golden ratio.

Examples

			a(0) = 1, a(1) = 3, b(0) = 2, b(1) = 4, so that
a(2) = a(1) + a(0) + b(1) = 8;
Complement: (b(n)) = (2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, ...)
