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 sequence of terms together with the corresponding compositions begins:
    0: ()
    3: (1,1)
   10: (2,2)

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.

We define a pattern to be a finite sequence covering an initial interval of positive integers. Patterns are counted by A000670. A sequence is alternating (cf. A025047) including pairs (x,x) if there are no adjacent triples (..., x, y, z, ...) where x <= y <= z or x >= y >= z. These sequences avoid the weak consecutive patterns (1,2,3) and (3,2,1).
An alternating pattern of length > 2 is necessarily an anti-run (A005649).
The version without pairs (x,x) is identical to this sequence except a(2) = 2 instead of 3.

			The a(0) = 1 through a(4) = 22 patterns:
  ()  (1)  (1,1)  (1,2,1)  (1,2,1,2)

For the specified value of n, the second Maple program lists the partitions of n counted by a(n).
Also the number of integer partitions of n with as many even parts as odd parts in the conjugate partition. - Gus Wiseman, Jul 26 2021

We define a pattern to be a finite sequence covering an initial interval of positive integers. Patterns are counted by A000670 and ranked by A333217.
A sequence is alternating if it is alternately strictly increasing and strictly decreasing, starting with either. For example, the partition (3,2,2,2,1) has no alternating permutations, even though it does have the anti-run permutations (2,3,2,1,2) and (2,1,2,3,2). An alternating pattern is necessarily an anti-run (A005649).
The version with twins (A344605) is identical to this sequence except with a(2) = 3 instead of 2.
From Gus Wiseman, Jan 16 2022: (Start)
Conjecture: Also the number of weakly up/down patterns of length n, where a sequence is weakly up/down if it is alternately weakly increasing and weakly decreasing, starting with an increase. For example, the a(0) = 1 through a(3) = 6 weakly up/down patterns are:

The reverse-alternating sum of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(k-i) y_i. This is equal to (-1)^(m-1) times the number of odd parts in the conjugate partition, where m is the number of parts. So T(n,k) is the number of strict integer partitions of n such that k is equal to (-1)^(m-1) times the number of odd conjugate parts.
By conjugation, T(n,k) is also equal to the number of integer partitions of n covering an initial interval of positive integers such that k is equal to (-1)^(r-1) times the number of odd parts, where r is the greatest part.
Also the number of reversed strict integer partitions of n with alternating sum k.
