Comments

A composition of n is a finite sequence of positive integers with sum n.

For the operation of taking the sequence of run-lengths of a finite sequence, runs-resistance is defined as the number of applications required to reach a singleton.

These are non-constant compositions with equal run-lengths (A329738).

Examples

			The a(3) = 2 through a(6) = 15 compositions:
  (1,2)  (1,3)    (1,4)    (1,5)
  (2,1)  (3,1)    (2,3)    (2,4)
         (1,2,1)  (3,2)    (4,2)
                  (4,1)    (5,1)
                  (1,3,1)  (1,2,3)
                  (2,1,2)  (1,3,2)
                           (1,4,1)
                           (2,1,3)
                           (2,3,1)
                           (3,1,2)
                           (3,2,1)
                           (1,1,2,2)
                           (1,2,1,2)
                           (2,1,2,1)
                           (2,2,1,1)
