Abstract: This paper completes the classification of the set $S$ of all real parameter pairs $$ such that the dilated floor functions $f_{a}lpha(x)=lflooralphaxfloor$, $$ have a nonnegative commutator, i.e. $$ for all real $x$. This paper treats the case where both dilation parameters $$ are negative. This result is equivalent to classifying all positive $$ satisfying $$ for all real $x$. The classification analysis is connected with the theory of Beatty sequences and with the Diophantine Frobenius problem in two generators.
