Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Floor-sum sequence of r, where r = golden ratio = (1+sqrt(5))/2 and a(1)=2, a(2)=3.

%C Let S be the set generated by these rules: (1) if m and n are in S and m<n, then floor(mr+nr) is in S; (2) two or more specific numbers are in S. The floor-sum sequence determined by (1) and (2) results by arranging the elements of S in strictly increasing order.

%C Let B be the Beatty sequence of r. Then a floor-sum sequence of r is a subsequence of B if and only if a(1) and a(2) are terms of B. Thus, A182670 is not a subsequence of the lower Wythoff sequence, A000201.
