%N Numbers k such that the k-th composition in standard order (row k of A066099) has reverse-alternating sum -1.

%C The reverse-alternating sum of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(k-i) 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 5: (2,1)

%e 18: (3,2)

%e 23: (2,1,1,1)

%e 25: (1,3,1)

%e 29: (1,1,2,1)

%e 68: (4,3)

%e 75: (3,2,1,1)

%e 78: (3,1,1,2)

%e 81: (2,4,1)

%e 85: (2,2,2,1)

%e 90: (2,1,2,2)

%e 95: (2,1,1,1,1,1)

%e 98: (1,4,2)
