Comments

An example of a sequence which contains all finite sequences of positive integers as subsequences.

From Andrey Zabolotskiy, May 18 2018: (Start)

At first, the ordering within the compositions of fixed length coincides with the lexicographical order (which is the case of A228369), but for n = 5 the partitions {2, 1, 2}, {1, 3, 1}, {2, 2, 1} go in this order because the order becomes reverse lexicographical when they are reversed (read right-to-left): {2, 1, 2}, {1, 3, 1}, {1, 2, 2}.

Length of k-th composition is A124748(k-1)+1.

Reversing every composition gives A296772. (End)
