The complement of a is b=A120749. Is a(n) < b(n) for all n? If k is a positive integer, then is b(n) - a(n) = k for infinitely many n?

EXAMPLE
{r} = {1.4142...} = 0.4142... < 1/2, so a(1)=1.
{2r} = 0.828... > 1/2, so b(1) = 2, where b = complement of a.
{3r} = 0.242... < 1/2, so a(2) = 3.
MATHEMATICA
z = 150; r = Sqrt[2]; f[n_] := If[FractionalPart[n*r] < 1/2, 0, 1]
Flatten[Position[Table[f[n], {n, 1, z}], 0]] (* A120243 *)
Flatten[Position[Table[f[n], {n, 1, z}], 1]] (* A120749 *)
