Example

The Beatty sequence for 1 + sqrt(2) is A003151 = (0,2,4,7,9,12,14,16,...), with difference sequence s = A276862 = (2,2,3,2,3,2,2,3,2,3,2,2,3,2,3,...).  The sums s(j)+s(j+1)+...+s(k) include (2,3,4,5,7,8,9,12,...), with complement (1,6,11,18,23,...).

Mathematica

z = 500; r = 1+Sqrt[2]; b = Table[Floor[k*r], {k, 0, z}]; (* A003151 *)
t = Differences[b]; (* A276862 *)
c[k_, n_] := Sum[t[[i]], {i, n, n + k - 1}];
u[k_] := Union[Table[c[k, n], {n, 1, z - k + 1}]];
w = Flatten[Table[u[k], {k, 1, z}]]; Complement[Range[Max[w]], w]  (* A276879 *)
