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). Alternating permutations of multisets are a generalization of alternating or up-down permutations of {1..n}.

The multisets that have an alternating permutation are those which have no part with multiplicity greater than floor(n/2) except for odd n when either the smallest or largest part can have multiplicity ceiling(n/2). - Andrew Howroyd, Jan 13 2024

			The multiset {1,2,2,3} has alternating permutations (2,1,3,2), (2,3,1,2), so is counted under a(4).

First differs from A348382 at a(6) = 19, A348382(6) = 17. The two non-alternating non-twin compositions of 6 that are not an anti-run are (1,2,3) and (3,2,1).

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 does have the anti-run permutations (2,3,2,1,2) and (2,1,2,3,2). Alternating permutations of multisets are a generalization of alternating or up-down permutations of {1..n}.

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).
Conjecture: Also the number of non-weakly up/down (or down/up) patterns of length n. For example:
- The a(3) = 7 non-weakly up/down patterns:
  (121), (122), (123), (132), (221), (231), (321)
- The a(3) = 7 non-weakly down/up patterns:
  (112), (123), (211), (212), (213), (312), (321)
- The a(3) = 7 non-alternating patterns (see example for more):
  (111), (112), (122), (123), (211), (221), (321)

			The a(2) = 1 and a(3) = 7 non-alternating patterns:
  (1,1)  (1,1,1)
         (1,1,2)
         (1,2,2)
         (1,2,3)
         (2,1,1)
         (2,2,1)
         (3,2,1)
The a(4) = 53 non-alternating patterns:
  2112   3124   4123   1112   2134   1234   3112   2113   1123

A factorization of n is a weakly increasing sequence of positive integers > 1 with product n.
A multiset is separable if it has a permutation that is an anti-run, meaning there are no adjacent equal parts. Alternatively, a multiset is separable if its greatest multiplicity is greater than the sum of the remaining multiplicities plus one.
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). Alternating permutations of multisets are a generalization of alternating or up-down permutations of sets.
Note that 216 has separable prime factorization (2*2*2*3*3*3) with an alternating permutation, but the separable factorization (2*3*3*3*4) is has no alternating permutation. See also A345173.

			The terms and their prime factorizations begin:
  216 = 2*2*2*3*3*3
  270 = 2*3*3*3*5
  324 = 2*2*3*3*3*3
  378 = 2*3*3*3*7
  432 = 2*2*2*2*3*3*3
  486 = 2*3*3*3*3*3
  540 = 2*2*3*3*3*5
  594 = 2*3*3*3*11
  640 = 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*5
  648 = 2*2*2*3*3*3*3
  702 = 2*3*3*3*13
  756 = 2*2*3*3*3*7
  768 = 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*3
  810 = 2*3*3*3*3*5
  864 = 2*2*2*2*2*3*3*3
