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.

A multiset is separable if it has a permutation that is an anti-run, meaning there are no adjacent equal parts.

A multiset whose multiplicities are the prime indices of n (such as row n of A305936) is not the same as the multiset of prime indices of n. For example, the prime indices of 12 are {1,1,2}, while a multiset whose multiplicities are {1,1,2} is {1,1,2,3}.

			The sequence together with the corresponding multisets begins:
   1: {}
   2: {1}
   4: {1,2}

If a collapse is a joining of some number of adjacent equal parts of an integer composition, we call a composition collapsible iff by some sequence of collapses it can be reduced to a single part. An example of such a sequence of collapses is (1,1,1,3,2,1,1,2) -> (3,3,2,1,1,2) -> (3,3,2,2,2) -> (6,2,2,2) -> (6,6) -> (12), which shows that (1,1,1,3,2,1,1,2) is a collapsible composition of 12.

The leaders of strictly increasing runs in a sequence are obtained by splitting it into maximal strictly increasing subsequences 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 strictly increasing subsequences of the 212th composition in standard order are ((1,2),(2,3)), with leaders (1,2), so 212 is in the sequence.
The terms together with corresponding compositions begin:

Gus Wiseman, Sequences counting and ranking compositions by their leaders (for six types of runs).

Positions of distinct (strict) rows in A374683.
For identical leaders we have A374685, counted by A374761.
Compositions of this type are counted by A374687.
The opposite version is A374767, counted by A374760.
The weak version is A374768, counted by A374632.
Other types of runs: A374249 (counts A274174), A374638 (counts A374518), A374701 (counts A374743).
A011782 counts compositions.
A238130, A238279, A333755 count compositions by number of runs.
All of the following pertain to compositions in standard order:
- Length is A000120.
- Sum is A029837(n+1) (or sometimes A070939).
- Parts are listed by A066099.

The weakly decreasing run-leaders of a sequence are obtained by splitting into maximal weakly decreasing subsequences and taking the first term of each.

			The composition (3,1,3,2,1,3,3) has maximal weakly decreasing subsequences ((3,1),(3,2,1),(3,3)), with leaders (3,3,3), so is counted under a(16).
The a(0) = 1 through a(6) = 13 compositions:

a(n) is also the number of (0,1)-matrices A=(a_ij) of size n X 2n such that each row has exactly two 1's and each column has exactly one 1 and with the restriction that no 1 stands on the line from a_11 to a_22. - Shanzhen Gao, Feb 24 2010
a(n) is the number of permutations of the multiset {1,1,2,2,...,n,n} with no fixed points. - Alexander Burstein, May 16 2020
Also the number of 2-uniform ordered set partitions of {1...2n} containing no two successive vertices in the same block. - Gus Wiseman, Jul 04 2020

			a(2) = 2 because there are two permutations of {1,1,2,2} avoiding equal consecutive terms: 1212 and 2121.
