A multiset is separable if it has an anti-run permutation (no adjacent parts equal).
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).
The Heinz number of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is prime(y_1)*...*prime(y_k). This gives a bijective correspondence between positive integers and integer partitions.

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 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).

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.

			The following are the weakly alternating permutations for selected n:

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

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

			The ordered factorizations for n = 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 30:

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 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).

First differs from 2 * A326291 at a(90) = 4, A326291(90) = 3.
The first odd term is a(144) = 7, whose non-weakly alternating permutations are shown in the example below.
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.
For n > 1, the multiset of prime factors of n is row n of A027746. The prime indices A112798 can also be used.

			The following are the weakly alternating permutations for selected n.
