We define a pattern to be a finite sequence covering an initial interval of positive integers. Patterns are counted by A000670 and ranked by A333217.
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). An alternating pattern is necessarily an anti-run (A005649).
The version with twins (A344605) is identical to this sequence except with a(2) = 3 instead of 2.
From Gus Wiseman, Jan 16 2022: (Start)
Conjecture: Also the number of weakly up/down patterns of length n, where a sequence is weakly up/down if it is alternately weakly increasing and weakly decreasing, starting with an increase. For example, the a(0) = 1 through a(3) = 6 weakly up/down patterns are:
  ()  (1)  (1,1)  (1,1,1)
           (2,1)  (1,1,2)
                  (2,1,1)

We define a sequence to be weakly alternating if it is alternately weakly increasing and weakly decreasing, starting with either.

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.

			The terms and corresponding compositions begin:
   37: (3,2,1)
   46: (2,1,1,2)

We define a sequence to be weakly alternating if it is alternately weakly increasing and weakly decreasing, starting with either. Then a sequence is alternating in the sense of A025047 iff it is a weakly alternating anti-run.

A prime index of n is a number m such that prime(m) divides n. For n > 1, the multiset of prime factors of n is row n of A027746. The prime indices A112798 can also be used.
