%e The Beatty sequence for Pi is A022844 = (0,3,6,9,12,15,18,21,25,,...), with difference sequence s = A063438 = (3,3,3,3,3,3,3,4,3,3,3,...). The sums s(j)+s(j+1)+...+s(k) include (3,4,6,7,9,10,12,13,...), with complement (1,2,5,8,11,14,...).

%t z = 500; r = Pi; b = Table[Floor[k*r], {k, 0, z}]; (* A022844 *)

%t t = Differences[b]; (* A063438 *)

%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] (* A276877 *)
