%N Numbers k such that the k-th composition in standard order (row k of A066099) has alternating sum -1.
%C The alternating sum of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(i-1) y_i.
%C 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.
%e The sequence of terms together with the corresponding compositions begins:
%e 6: (1,2)
%e 20: (2,3)
%e 25: (1,3,1)
%e 27: (1,2,1,1)
