COMMENTS
A composition of n is a finite sequence of positive integers summing to n.
The differences of a sequence are defined as if the sequence were increasing, so for example the differences of (3,1,2) are (-2,1).
EXAMPLE
The a(1) = 1 through a(8) = 20 compositions:
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8)
