%N Numbers k such that the k-th composition in standard order has sum equal to negative twice its alternating sum.
%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.
%C The alternating sum of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(i-1) y_i.
%e The terms and corresponding compositions begin:
%e 0: ()
%e 12: (1,3)
