Comments

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.

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).

Example

Composition number 981 in standard order is (1,1,1,2,2,2,1), with partial runs (1), (2), (1,1), (2,2), (1,1,1), (2,2,2), with distinct sums {1,2,3,4,6}, so a(981) = 5.
