If k is odd (k = 2m+1 for m >= 0), then 2^k = 2^(2m+1) = 2*(2^m)^2.  If k is even (k = 2m for m >= 0), then 2^k = 2^(2m) = (2^m)^2.  So, the powers of 2 sequence (A000079) is a subsequence of this one. - Timothy L. Tiffin, Jul 18 2016

All of these factorizations have an even number of factors, so their reverse-alternating product is also an integer.

For n=400, there are 12 such factorizations:
  2*200
  4*100
  5*80
  10*40
  20*20
  2*2*2*50
  2*2*5*20
  2*2*10*10
  2*4*5*10
  2*5*5*8
  4*4*5*5
  2*2*2*2*5*5.
Note that 400 = 2^4 * 5^2 has the same prime signature as 144 = 2^4 * 3^2. 400 = 2*4*5*10 is the factorization for which there is no analogous factorization of 144, as 2*3*4*6 doesn't satisfy the condition of having an integer reciprocal alternating product.

A factorization of n is a weakly increasing sequence of positive integers > 1 with product n.

We define the alternating product of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) to be Product_i y_i^((-1)^(i-1)). The reverse-alternating product is the alternating product of the reversed sequence.

First differs from A335434 at a(216) = 27, A335434(216) = 28. Also differs from A335434 at a(270) = 19, A335434(270) = 20.
A factorization of n is a weakly increasing sequence of positive integers > 1 with product n.
All of the counted factorizations are separable (A335434).
A sequence is alternating if it is alternately strictly increasing and strictly decreasing, starting with either. For example, the partition (3,2,2,2,1) has no alternating permutations, even though it does have the anti-run permutations (2,3,2,1,2) and (2,1,2,3,2). Alternating permutations of multisets are a generalization of alternating or up-down permutations of {1..n}.

An ordered factorization of n is a finite sequence of positive integers > 1 with product n.

A sequence is alternating if it is alternately strictly increasing and strictly decreasing, starting with either.

			The a(n) ordered factorizations for n = 4, 12, 16, 24, 32, 36:
  2*2   2*2*3   4*4       2*2*6     2*2*8       6*6
        3*2*2   2*2*4     2*3*4     2*4*4       2*2*9
                4*2*2     4*3*2     4*4*2       2*3*6
                2*2*2*2   6*2*2     8*2*2       3*3*4
                          2*2*2*3   2*2*2*4     4*3*3
                          2*2*3*2   2*2*4*2     6*3*2
