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.
EXAMPLE
The terms together with their corresponding compositions begin:
0: ()
1: (1)
11: (2,1,1)
119: (1,1,2,1,1,1)
5615: (2,2,1,1,1,2,1,1,1,1)
251871: (1,1,1,2,2,1,1,1,1,2,1,1,1,1,1)
