First differs from A335467 in having 166, corresponding to the composition (2,3,1,2).

The leaders of weakly increasing runs in a sequence are obtained by splitting it into maximal weakly increasing subsequences and taking the first term of each.

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 number of binary strings sharing the same autocorrelations.

Appears to be row sums of A155092, beginning from a(2). - Mats Granvik, Jan 20 2009

The number of binary words of length n (beginning with 0) which do not start with an even palindrome (i.e. which are not of the form ss*t where s is a (nonempty) word, s* is its reverse, and t is any (possibly empty) word). - Mamuka Jibladze, Sep 30 2014

From Gus Wiseman, Mar 08 2021: (Start)

This sequence counts each of the following essentially equivalent things:

1. Sets of distinct positive integers with maximum n in which all adjacent elements have quotients > 1/2. For example, the a(1) = 1 through a(6) = 10 sets are:

{1} {2} {3} {4} {5} {6}

{2,3} {3,4} {3,5} {4,6}

{2,3,4} {4,5} {5,6}

{2,3,5} {3,4,6}

{3,4,5} {3,5,6}

{2,3,4,5} {4,5,6}

{2,3,4,6}

{2,3,5,6}

{3,4,5,6}

{2,3,4,5,6}

2. For n > 1, sets of distinct positive integers with maximum n - 1 whose first-differences are term-wise less than their decapitation (remove the maximum). For example, the set q = {2,4,5} has first-differences (2,1), which are not less than (2,4), so q is not counted under a(5). On the other hand, r = {2,3,5,6} has first-differences {1,2,1}, which are less than {2,3,5}, so r is counted under a(6).

3. Compositions of n where each part after the first is less than the sum of all preceding parts. For example, the a(1) = 1 through a(6) = 10 compositions are:

(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6)

(21) (31) (41) (51)

(211) (32) (42)

(311) (411)

(212) (321)

(2111) (312)

(3111)

(2121)

(2112)

For a partition p, let l(p) = largest part of p, w(p) = number of 1's in p, m(p) = number of parts of p larger than w(p). The crank of p is given by l(p) if w(p) = 0, otherwise m(p)-w(p).

Also the number of compositions of n matching the pattern (1,2,1) or (2,1,2).

We define a sequence to be weakly alternating if it is alternately weakly increasing and weakly decreasing, starting with either. Then a sequence is (strongly) alternating iff it is a weakly alternating anti-run.

Also the number of integer compositions of n whose leaders of maximal weakly decreasing runs are strictly increasing. For example, the composition (1,2,2,1,3,1,4,1) has maximal weakly decreasing runs ((1),(2,2,1),(3,1),(4,1)), with leaders (1,2,3,4), so is counted under a(15). - Gus Wiseman, Aug 21 2024

The leaders of anti-runs in a sequence are obtained by splitting it into maximal consecutive anti-runs (sequences with no adjacent equal terms) and taking the first term of each.

The leaders of weakly increasing runs in a sequence are obtained by splitting it into maximal weakly increasing subsequences and taking the first term of each.

The leaders of strictly increasing runs in a sequence are obtained by splitting it into maximal strictly increasing subsequences and taking the first term of each.

Apparently a(n) = number of partitions (p_1, p_2, ..., p_k) of n+1, with p_1 >= p_2 >= ... >= p_k, such that for each i, p_i > p_{i+1}+...+p_k. - John McKay (mac(AT)mathstat.concordia.ca), Mar 06 2009

Comment from John McKay confirmed in paper by Bessenrodt, Olsson, and Sellers. Such partitions are called "strongly decreasing" partitions in the paper, see the function s(n) therein.

Also the number of unlabeled binary rooted trees with 2*n + 3 nodes in which the two branches directly under any given non-leaf node are either equal or at least one of them is a leaf. - Gus Wiseman, Oct 08 2018

From Gus Wiseman, Apr 06 2021: (Start)

This sequence counts both of the following essentially equivalent things:

1. Sets of distinct positive integers with maximum n + 1 in which all adjacent elements have quotients < 1/2. For example, the a(0) = 1 through a(8) = 7 subsets are:

{1} {2} {3} {4} {5} {6} {7} {8} {9}

{1,3} {1,4} {1,5} {1,6} {1,7} {1,8} {1,9}

{2,5} {2,6} {2,7} {2,8} {2,9}

{3,7} {3,8} {3,9}

{1,3,7} {1,3,8} {4,9}

{1,3,9}

{1,4,9}

2. Sets of distinct positive integers with maximum n + 1 whose first differences are term-wise greater than their decapitation (remove the maximum). For example, the set q = {1,4,9} has first differences (3,5), which are greater than (1,4), so q is counted under a(8). On the other hand, r = {1,5,9} has first differences (4,4), which are not greater than (1,5), so r is not counted under a(8).

Also the number of partitions of n + 1 into powers of 2 covering an initial interval of powers of 2. For example, the a(0) = 1 through a(8) = 7 partitions are:

1 11 21 211 221 2211 421 4211 4221

111 1111 2111 21111 2221 22211 22221

11111 111111 22111 221111 42111

211111 2111111 222111

1111111 11111111 2211111

21111111

111111111
