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:

The reverse-alternating sum of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(k-i) y_i.
Also the number of reversed integer partitions of 2n with alternating sum >= 0.
The reverse-alternating sum of a partition is equal to (-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 partitions of 2n whose conjugate parts are all even or whose length is odd. By conjugation, this is also the number of partitions of 2n whose parts are all even or whose greatest part is odd.

Second binomial transform of A032443 with interpolated zeros.
a(n) is the total number of lattice points, taken over all Dyck n-paths (A000108), that (i) lie on or above ground level and (ii) lie on or directly below a peak. For example with n = 2, UUDD has 1 peak contributing 3 lattice points--(2, 0), (2, 1) and (2, 2) when the path starts at the origin--and UDUD has 2 peaks, each contributing 2 lattice points and so a(2) = 3 + 4 = 7. - David Callan, Jul 14 2006

A composition of n is a finite sequence of positive integers summing to n.

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

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)
           (1,2)  (1,3,2)  (1,2,1,3)
           (2,1)  (2,1,2)  (1,3,1,2)

For example, the prime indices of 70 are {1,3,4} with alternating sum 1 - 3 + 4 = 2, so 70 is in the sequence. On the other hand, the prime indices of 24 are {1,1,1,2} with alternating sum 1 - 1 + 1 - 2 = -1, so 24 is not in the sequence.

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:
      6: (1,2)
     20: (2,3)
     25: (1,3,1)
     27: (1,2,1,1)
     30: (1,1,1,2)
     72: (3,4)
     81: (2,4,1)
     83: (2,3,1,1)
     86: (2,2,1,2)
     92: (2,1,1,3)
     98: (1,4,2)
    101: (1,3,2,1)
    103: (1,3,1,1,1)
    106: (1,2,2,2)
    109: (1,2,1,2,1)

These compositions are counted by A001791.
A version using runs of binary digits is A031444.
These are the positions of -1's in A124754.
The opposite (positive 1) version is A345909.
The reverse version is A345912.
The version for alternating sum of prime indices is A345959.
