COMMENTS
Let S be the set generated by these rules: (1) if m and n are in S and m<n, then floor(mr+nr) is in S; (2) two or more specific numbers are in S. The floor-sum sequence determined by (1) and (2) results by arranging the elements of S in strictly increasing order.
Let B be the Beatty sequence of r. Then a floor-sum sequence of r is a subsequence of B if and only if a(1) and a(2) are terms of B.
EXAMPLE
7 is in the sequence because floor(r*a(1)+r*a(2))=floor(r+2r)=7
57 is in the sequence because floor(r*a(2)+r*a(4))=floor(r*22)=57
61 is not in the sequence because 23*r=60.21... and 24*r=62.83... so there are no integers x,y with floor(r*(x+y))=61
60 is not in the sequence because floor(r*(x+y))=60 requires x+y=23, and no pair of elements of the sequence sum to 23
