Comments

We define the half-alternating sum of a sequence (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, ...) to be A + B - C - D + E + F - G - ...

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.

   54: (1,2,1,2)
   55: (1,2,1,1,1)
   59: (1,1,2,1,1)
