Collection: Integer compositions

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: The number of runs in an integer composition.

Writing the composition as $c_1^{e_1} \dots c_\ell^{e_\ell}$, where $c_i \neq c_{i+1}$ for all $i$, the number of runs is $\ell$, see [def.2.8, 1].

It turns out that the total number of runs in all compositions of $n$ equals the total number of odd parts in all these compositions, see [1].
