Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Numbers k such that the k-th composition in standard order is not the sequence of run-sums of any other composition.

%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 Every sequence can be uniquely split into a sequence of non-overlapping runs. For example, the runs of (2,2,1,1,1,3,2,2) are ((2,2),(1,1,1),(3),(2,2)), with sums (4,3,3,4).

%C The first term k such that the k-th composition in standard order does not have ones sandwiching the same prime number an even number of times is k = 3221, corresponding to the composition (1,3,3,2,2,1).

%e The terms and their corresponding compositions begin:

%e 3: (1,1)

%e 7: (1,1,1)

%e 11: (2,1,1)

%Y These compositions are counted by A354909.

%Y A124767 counts runs in standard compositions.

%Y A238279 and A333755 count compositions by number of runs.

%Y A351014 counts distinct runs of standard compositions, firsts A351015.

%Y A353852 ranks compositions with distinct run-sums, counted by A353850.
