We define a pattern to be a finite sequence covering an initial interval of positive integers. Patterns are counted by A000670. A sequence is alternating (cf. A025047) including pairs (x,x) if there are no adjacent triples (..., x, y, z, ...) where x <= y <= z or x >= y >= z. These sequences avoid the weak consecutive patterns (1,2,3) and (3,2,1).
An alternating pattern of length > 2 is necessarily an anti-run (A005649).
The version without pairs (x,x) is identical to this sequence except a(2) = 2 instead of 3.

			The a(0) = 1 through a(4) = 22 patterns:
  ()  (1)  (1,1)  (1,2,1)  (1,2,1,2)
           (1,2)  (1,3,2)  (1,2,1,3)

Anti-runs summing to n are counted by A003242(n).
The leaders of anti-runs in a sequence are obtained by splitting it into maximal consecutive anti-runs (sequences with no adjacent equal terms) and taking the first term of each.
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 maximal anti-runs of the 1234567th composition in standard order are ((3,2,1,2),(2,1,2,5,1),(1),(1)), so row 1234567 is (3,2,1,1).
The nonnegative integers, corresponding compositions, and leaders of anti-runs begin:
    0:      () -> ()        15: (1,1,1,1) -> (1,1,1,1)
    1:     (1) -> (1)       16:       (5) -> (5)
    2:     (2) -> (2)       17:     (4,1) -> (4)
    3:   (1,1) -> (1,1)     18:     (3,2) -> (3)
    4:     (3) -> (3)       19:   (3,1,1) -> (3,1)
    5:   (2,1) -> (2)       20:     (2,3) -> (2)
    6:   (1,2) -> (1)       21:   (2,2,1) -> (2,2)
    7: (1,1,1) -> (1,1,1)   22:   (2,1,2) -> (2)
    8:     (4) -> (4)       23: (2,1,1,1) -> (2,1,1)
    9:   (3,1) -> (3)       24:     (1,4) -> (1)
   10:   (2,2) -> (2,2)     25:   (1,3,1) -> (1)
   11: (2,1,1) -> (2,1)     26:   (1,2,2) -> (1,2)
   12:   (1,3) -> (1)       27: (1,2,1,1) -> (1,1)

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 has the anti-run permutations (2,3,2,1,2) and (2,1,2,3,2).
Also Heinz numbers of integer partitions without a wiggly permutation, where the Heinz number of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is prime(y_1)*...*prime(y_k).

Every sequence can be uniquely split into a sequence of non-overlapping runs. For example, the runs of (2,2,1,1,1,3,2,2) are ((2,2),(1,1,1),(3),(2,2)), with sums (4,3,3,4).

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.

			Composition 462903 in standard order is (1,1,4,7,1,2,1,1,1), with run-sums (2,4,7,1,2,3), of which a(462903) = 5 are distinct.

The run-sum trajectory is obtained by repeatedly taking the run-sum transformation (A353847) until the rank of an anti-run is reached. For example, the trajectory 11 -> 10 -> 8 given in row 11 corresponds to the trajectory (2,1,1) -> (2,2) -> (4).

From Paul D. Hanna, Oct 22 2004: (Start)
G.f.: x/(1-2*x+x^2-x^3).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..[(2n-1)/3]} binomial(n-1-[k/2], k), where [x]=floor(x). (End)
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n-k, 2*k+1).
23*a_n = 3*P_{2n+2} + 7*P_{2n+1} - 2*P_{2n}, where P_n are the Perrin numbers, A001608. - Don Knuth, Dec 09 2008
G.f. (1-z)*(1+z^2)/(1-2*z+z^2-z^3) for the augmented version 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 9, 16, 28, 49, 86, 151, ... was given in Simon Plouffe's thesis of 1992.
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + a(n-4) = a(n-2) + A049853(n-1) = a(n-1) + A005251(n) = Sum_{i <= n} A005251(i).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor((n-1)/3)} binomial(n-k, 2*k+1). - Richard L. Ollerton, May 12 2004
M^n*[1,0,0] = [a(n-2), a(n-1), a]; where M = the 3 X 3 matrix [0,1,0; 0,0,1; 1,-1,2]. Example M^5*[1,0,0] = [3,5,9]. - Gary W. Adamson, May 25 2007
a(n) = A000931(2*n + 4). - Michael Somos, Sep 18 2012
a(n) = A077954(-n - 2). - Michael Somos, Sep 18 2012
G.f.: 1/( 1 - Sum_{k>=0} x*(x-x^2+x^3)^k ) - 1. - Joerg Arndt, Sep 30 2012
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial( n-floor((k+1)/2), n-floor((3k-1)/2) ). - John Molokach, Jul 21 2013
a(n) = Sum_{k=1..floor((2*n+2)/3)} binomial(n - floor((4*n+15-6*k+(-1)^k)/12), n - floor((4*n+15-6*k+(-1)^k)/12) - floor((2*n-1)/3) + k - 1). - John Molokach, Jul 24 2013
a(n) = round(A001608(2n+1)*r) where r is the real root of 23*x^3 - 23*x^2 + 8*x - 1 = 0, r = 0.4114955... - Richard Turk, Oct 24 2019
a(n+2) = n + 2 + Sum_{k=0..n} (n-k)*a(k). - Greg Dresden and Yichen P. Wang, Sep 16 2021
a(n) ~ (19 - r + 11*r^2) / (23 * r^(n-1)), where r = 0.569840290998... is the root of the equation r*(2 - r + r^2) = 1. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Apr 14 2024
a(n) = n*3F2(1/3-n/3,2/3-n/3,1-n/3;-n,3/2;27/4). - R. J. Mathar, Jun 27 2024
If p,q,r are the three solutions to x^3 = 2x^2 - x + 1, then a(n) = p^(n+1)/((p-q)*(p-r)) + q^(n+1)/((q-p)*(q-r)) + r^(n+1)/((r-p)*(r-q)). Compare to similar formula for A005251. - Greg Dresden and AnXing Yang, Aug 19 2025
