Comments

Write a(n)=[(bn+c)r]-b[nr]-[cr]. If r>0 and b and c are integers satisfying b>=2 and 0<=c<=b-1, then 0<=a(n)<=b. The positions of 0 in the sequence a are of interest, as are the position sequences for 1,2,...,b. These b+1 position sequences comprise a partition of the positive integers.

Examples:

(golden ratio,2,1): A190427-A190430

(sqrt(2),2,0): A190480-A190482

(sqrt(2),2,1): A190483-A190486

(sqrt(2),3,0): A190487-A190490

(sqrt(2),3,1): A190491-A190495

(sqrt(2),3,2): A190496-A190500

(sqrt(2),4,c): A190544-A190566
