Comments

The reverse-alternating sum of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(k-i) y_i. This is also (-1)^(k-1) times the sum of the even-indexed parts minus the sum of the odd-indexed parts.

Also the number of reversed integer partitions of n with alternating sum k ranging from -n to n in steps of 2.

Also the number of integer partitions of n with (-1)^(m-1) * b = k where m is the greatest part and b is the number of odd parts, with k ranging from -n to n in steps of 2.
