Also the number of integer compositions of n + 1 with alternating sum < 0, where the alternating sum of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(i-1) y_i. For example, the a(0) = 0 through a(6) = 6 compositions (empty columns indicated by dots) are:

The reverse-alternating sum of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(k-i) y_i.
Also the number of reversed of integer partitions of n with alternating sum < 0.
No integer partitions have alternating sum < 0, so the non-reversed version is all zeros.
Is this sequence weakly increasing? Note: a(2n + 2) = A236914(n), a(2n) = A344743(n).
A formula for the reverse-alternating sum of a partition is: (-1)^(k-1) times the number of odd parts in the conjugate partition, where k is the number of parts. So a(n) is the number of integer partitions of n of even length whose conjugate parts are not all odd. Partitions of the latter type are counted by A086543. By conjugation, a(n) is also the number of integer partitions of n of even maximum whose parts are not all odd.

The alternating sum of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(i-1) y_i.

The k-th composition in standard order (graded reverse-lexicographic, A066099) is obtained by taking the set of positions of 1's in the reversed binary expansion of k, prepending 0, taking first differences, and reversing again. This gives a bijective correspondence between nonnegative integers and integer compositions.

The reverse-alternating sum of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(k-i) y_i.

The alternating sum of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(i-1) y_i.

The k-th composition in standard order (graded reverse-lexicographic, A066099) is obtained by taking the set of positions of 1's in the reversed binary expansion of k, prepending 0, taking first differences, and reversing again. This gives a bijective correspondence between nonnegative integers and integer compositions.

			The initial terms and the corresponding compositions:
     1: (1)

The reverse-alternating sum of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(k-i) y_i.

The k-th composition in standard order (graded reverse-lexicographic, A066099) is obtained by taking the set of positions of 1's in the reversed binary expansion of k, prepending 0, taking first differences, and reversing again. This gives a bijective correspondence between nonnegative integers and integer compositions.

			The sequence of terms together with the corresponding compositions begins:
     1: (1)
     6: (1,2)
     7: (1,1,1)
    20: (2,3)
    21: (2,2,1)
    26: (1,2,2)
