COMMENTS
Suppose that b = (b(0), b(1), ... ) is an increasing sequence of positive integers satisfying b(0) = 1 and b(n+1) <= 2*b(n) for n >= 0. Let B(n) be the least b(m) >= n. Let R(0) = 1, and for n > 0, let R(n) = B(n) - R(B(n) - n). The resulting sum of the form R(n) = B(n) - B(m(1)) + B(m(2)) - ... + ((-1)^k)*B(k) is introduced here as the minimal alternating b-representation of n. The sum B(n) + B(m(2)) + ... we call the positive part of R(n), and the sum B(m(1)) + B(m(3)) + ... , the nonpositive part of R(n). The number ((-1)^k)*B(k) is the trace of n.
If b(n) = F(n+2), where F = A000045, then the sum is the minimal alternating Fibonacci-representation of n.

FORMULA
R(F(k)^2) = F(2k-1) - F(2k-3) + F(2k-5) - ... + d*F(5) + (-1)^k, where d = (-1)^(k+1).
EXAMPLE
R(0) = 0
R(1) = 1
R(2) = 2
R(3) = 3
R(4) = 5 - 1
R(9) = 13 - 5 + 1
R(25) = 34 - 13 + 5 - 1
R(64) = 89 - 34 + 13 - 5 + 1
