%N Sums-complement of the Beatty sequence for sqrt(5).

%C The sums-complement of a sequence s(1), s(2), ... of positive integers is introduced here as the set of numbers c(1), c(2), ... such that no c(n) is a sum s(j)+s(j+1)+...+s(k) for any j and k satisfying 1 <= j <= k. If this set is not empty, the term "sums-complement" also applies to the (possibly finite) sequence of numbers c(n) arranged in increasing order. In particular, the difference sequence D(r) of a Beatty sequence B(r) of an irrational number r > 2 has an infinite sums-complement, abbreviated as SC(r) in the following table:

%C r B(r) D(r) SC(r)

%C From _Jeffrey Shallit_, Aug 15 2023: (Start)

%C Simpler description: this sequence represents those positive integers that CANNOT be expressed as a difference of two elements of A022839.

%C There is a 20-state Fibonacci automaton for the terms of this sequence (see a276871.pdf). It takes as input the Zeckendorf representation of n and accepts iff n is a member of A276871. (End)

%e The Beatty sequence for sqrt(5) is A022839 = (0,2,4,6,8,11,13,15,...), with difference sequence s = A081427 = (2,2,2,2,3,2,2,2,3,2,...). The sums s(j)+s(j+1)+...+s(k) include (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12,...), with complement (1,10,19,28,37,...).

%t z = 500; r = Sqrt[5]; b = Table[Floor[k*r], {k, 0, z}]; (* A022839 *)

%t t = Differences[b]; (* A081427 *)

%t c[k_, n_] := Sum[t[[i]], {i, n, n + k - 1}];

%t u[k_] := Union[Table[c[k, n], {n, 1, z - k + 1}]];

%t w = Flatten[Table[u[k], {k, 1, z}]]; Complement[Range[Max[w]], w]; (* A276871 *)
