FORMULA

a(n) = A025048(n) + A025049(n) - 1 = sum_k[A059881(n, k)] = sum_k[S(n, k) + T(n, k)] - 1 where if n>k>0 S(n, k) = sum_j[T(n - k, j)] over j>k and T(n, k) = sum_j[S(n - k, j)] over k>j (note reversal) and if n>0 S(n, n) = T(n, n) = 1; S(n, k) = A059882(n, k), T(n, k) = A059883(n, k) - Henry Bottomley, Feb 05 2001

EXAMPLE
|
From Joerg Arndt, Dec 28 2012: (Start)
There are a(7)=19 such compositions of 7:
[ 1] + [ 1 2 1 2 1 ]
[ 2] + [ 1 2 1 3 ]
[ 3] + [ 1 3 1 2 ]
[ 4] + [ 1 4 2 ]
[ 5] + [ 1 5 1 ]
[ 6] + [ 1 6 ]
[ 7] - [ 2 1 3 1 ]
[ 8] - [ 2 1 4 ]
[ 9] + [ 2 3 2 ]
[10] + [ 2 4 1 ]
[11] + [ 2 5 ]
[12] - [ 3 1 2 1 ]
[13] - [ 3 1 3 ]
[14] + [ 3 4 ]
[15] - [ 4 1 2 ]
[16] - [ 4 3 ]
[17] - [ 5 2 ]
[18] - [ 6 1 ]
[19] 0 [ 7 ]
For A025048(7)-1=10 of these the first two parts are increasing (marked by '+'),
and for A025049(7)-1=8 the first two parts are decreasing (marked by '-').
The composition into one part is counted by both A025048 and A025049.
