%N Sums-complement of the Beatty sequence for 2 + phi.

%C See A276871 for a definition of sums-complement and guide to related sequences.

%C From _Michel Dekking_, Apr 30 2019: (Start)

%C This sequence is a generalized Beatty sequence. According to Theorem 3.2 in the paper "The Frobenius problem for homomorphic embeddings of languages into the integers" this sequence (as a subset of the natural numbers) is the complement of the union of the two Beatty sequences

%C V := A003231 and W = V+1 (as subsets of the natural numbers) given by

%C V(n):= A(n)+2n = 3,7,10,14,..., W(n):=A(n)+2n+1 = 4,8,11,15,...

%C Here A = A000201, the lower Wythoff sequence.

%C Since the sequence Delta A = A014675 of first differences of A is the infinite Fibonacci word on the alphabet {2,1}, the sequence Delta V = (V(n+1)-V(n)) is the infinite Fibonacci word on the alphabet {4,3}. (Delta V equals A276867 shifted by 1.)

%C Now if for some k, Delta V(k) = 4, then a distance 3 plus a distance 1 are generated between three consecutive numbers in the complement, whereas if Delta V(k) = 3, then only a distance 3 is generated between two consecutive numbers in the complement.

%C This means that (skipping a(1)=1)

%C Delta a = (a(n+1)-a(n)) = gamma(Delta V),

%C where gamma is the morphism

%C gamma(4) = 31, gamma(3) = 3.

%C Since the Fibonacci word is a fixed point of the morphism 0->01, 1->0, this implies that Delta a, skipping a(1)=1, is the Fibonacci word on the alphabet {3,1}. It follows that

%C a(n+1) = 2*A(n) - n + 1.

%e The Beatty sequence for 2 + phi is 0 followed by A003231, which is (0,3,7,10,14,18,21,...), with difference sequence s = A276867 = (3,4,3,4,4,3,4,3,4,4,3,4,4,3,4,3,4,4,3,...). The sums s(j)+s(j+1)+...+s(k) include (3,4,7,8,10,12,14,15,...), with complement (1,2,5,6,9,12,13,16,...).

%t z = 500; r = 2 + GoldenRatio; b = Table[Floor[k*r], {k, 0, z}]; (* A003231 *)
