COMMENTS
A binary index of n is any position of a 1 in its reversed binary expansion. The binary indices of n are row n of A048793.
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.
EXAMPLE
The binary indices of 100 are {3,6,7}, with maximal runs ((3),(6,7)), with reversed lengths (2,1), which is the 5th composition in standard order, so a(100) = 5.
