The sums-complement of a sequence s(1), s(2), ... of positive integers is introduced here as the set of numbers c(1), c(2), ... such that no c(n) is a sum s(j)+s(j+1)+...+s(k) for any j and k satisfying 1 <= j <= k.  If this set is not empty, the term "sums-complement" also applies to the (possibly finite) sequence of numbers c(n) arranged in increasing order.  In particular, the difference sequence D(r) of a Beatty sequence B(r) of an irrational number r > 2 has an infinite sums-complement, abbreviated as SC(r) in the following table:
  r                  B(r)        D(r)       SC(r)

Simpler description:  this sequence represents those positive integers that CANNOT be expressed as a difference of two elements of A022839.
There is a 20-state Fibonacci automaton for the terms of this sequence (see a276871.pdf).  It takes as input the Zeckendorf representation of n and accepts iff n is a member of A276871. (End)

			The Beatty sequence for sqrt(5) is A022839 = (0,2,4,6,8,11,13,15,...), with difference sequence s = A081427 = (2,2,2,2,3,2,2,2,3,2,...).  The sums s(j)+s(j+1)+...+s(k) include (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12,...), with complement (1,10,19,28,37,...).
