We call a multiset or multiset partition normal iff it covers an initial interval of positive integers. The weight of a multiset partition is the sum of sizes of its blocks.

We define a (normal) pattern to be a finite sequence covering an initial interval of positive integers. Patterns are counted by A000670 and ranked by A333217. A sequence S is said to match a pattern P if there is a not necessarily contiguous subsequence of S whose parts have the same relative order as P. For example, (3,1,1,3) matches (1,1,2), (2,1,1), and (2,1,2), but avoids (1,2,1), (1,2,2), and (2,2,1).

A046523(a(n))=A046523(n); A046523(n)<=a(n)<=n; A001221(a(n))=A001221(n), A001222(a(n))=A001222(n); A020639(a(n))=2, A006530(a(n))=A000040(A001221(n))<=A006530(n); A000005(a(n))=A000005(n);

a(a(n))=a(n); a(n)=2^k iff n=p^k, p prime, k>0 (A000961); if n>1 is not a prime power, then a(n) mod 6 = 0; range of values = A055932, as distinct prime factors of a(n) are consecutive: a(n)=n iff n=A055932(k) for some k;

a(A003586(n))=A003586(n).

Let (10...0)_i (i>=0) denote 2^i in binary. Under (10...0)_i^k we understand a concatenation of (10...0)_i k times.

If n=Product_{i=1..m} p_i^t_i is the prime power factorization of n, then in the name r(n)=concatenation{i=1..m} ((10...0_(i-1)^t_i).

Numbers q and s are called c-equivalent if their binary expansions contain the same set of parts of the form 10...0. For example, 14=(1)(1)(10)~(10)(1)(1)=11.

Conversely, if n~n_1 such that n_1 is in A114994 and has c-factorization: n_1 = concatenation{i=m,...,0} ((10...0)i^t_i), one can consider "converse" sequence {s(n)}, where s(n) = Product{i=m..0} p_(i+1)^t_i.

For example, for n=22, n_1=21=((10)^2)(1), and s(22)=3^2*2=18.

The k-th composition in standard order (row k of A066099) is obtained by taking the set of positions of 1's in the reversed binary binary expansion of k, prepending 0, taking first differences, and reversing again. Then a(n) is the number k such that the k-th composition in standard order consists of the prime indices of n in weakly decreasing order (the partition with Heinz number n). - Gus Wiseman, Apr 02 2020

A sequence is alternating if it is alternately strictly increasing and strictly decreasing, starting with either. For example, the partition (3,3,2,2,2,2,1) has no alternating permutations, even though it has the anti-run permutations (2,3,2,3,2,1,2), (2,3,2,1,2,3,2), and (2,1,2,3,2,3,2).

A partition with k parts is alternating if and only every part has a multiplicity no greater than k/2, except either the smallest or largest part may have a multiplicity of (k+1)/2 when k is odd. - Andrew Howroyd, Jan 31 2024

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)

(2,1,2)

(2,1,3)

(3,1,2)

The k-th composition in standard order (row k of 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.

These numbers are half the sum of powers of 2 indexed by differences of a triangular number and each smaller triangular number (e.g., 21 - 15 = 6, 21 - 10 = 11, ..., 21 - 0 = 21).

This suggests another way to think about these numbers: consider the number triangle formed by the characteristic function of the triangular numbers (A010054), join together the first n rows (the very first row is row 0) as a single binary string and that gives the (n + 1)th term of this sequence. - Alonso del Arte, Nov 15 2013

Numbers k such that the k-th composition in standard order (row k of A066099) is an initial interval. - Gus Wiseman, Apr 02 2020
