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

A sequence is alternating if it is alternately strictly increasing and strictly decreasing, starting with either.

First differs from A333487 at a(216) = 4, A333487(216) = 3.
A factorization of n is a weakly increasing sequence of positive integers > 1 with product n.
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}.

Elliott Line, May 13 2016

The set of b values (see formula), and therefore also a(n), depends only on the prime signature of n. So, for example, a(24) will be identical to a(n) of any other n which is also of the form p_1^3*p_2, (e.g., 40, 54, 56).
The value of b_1 will always be 1. When n is prime, the only nonzero b will be b_1, so therefore a(n) will be 1.
In any arrangement, both dice will have a 0, and one will have a 1 (here called the lead die). To determine any one of the actual arrangements to numbers on the dice, select one of the permutations of divisors (for the lead die), then select another permutation that is either the same length as that of the lead die, or one less. For example, if n = 12, we might select 2*3*2 for the lead die, and 3*4 for the second die. These numbers effectively tell you when to "switch track" when numbering the dice, and will uniquely result in the numbering: (0,1,6,7,12,13,72,73,78,79,84,85; 0,2,4,18,20,22,36,38,40,54,56,58).
a(n) is the number of (unordered) pairs of polynomials c(x) = x^c_1 + x^c_2 + ... + x^c_n, d(x) = x^d_1 + x^d_2 + ... + x^d_n with nonnegative integer exponents such that c(x)*d(x) = (x^(n^2)-1)/(x-1). - Alois P. Heinz, May 13 2016
a(n) is also the number of principal reversible squares of order n. - S. Harry White, May 19 2018
From Gus Wiseman, Oct 29 2021: (Start)
Also the number of ordered factorizations of n^2 with alternating product 1. This follows from the author's formula. Taking n instead of n^2 gives a(sqrt(n)) if n is a perfect square, otherwise 0. Here, an ordered factorization of n is a sequence of positive integers > 1 with product n, and the alternating product of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Product_i y_i^((-1)^(i-1)). For example, the a(1) = 1 through a(9) = 3 factorizations are:
  ()  (22)  (33)  (44)    (55)  (66)    (77)  (88)      (99)

A factorization of n is a weakly increasing sequence of positive integers > 1 with product n.
These permutations are ordered factorizations of n with no adjacent triples (..., x, y, z, ...) where x <= y <= z or x >= y >= z.
The version without twins for n > 0 is a(n) + 1 if n is a perfect square; otherwise a(n).

We define the alternating product of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) to be Product_i y_i^((-1)^(i-1)).
A factorization of n is a weakly increasing sequence of positive integers > 1 with product n.
The even-length case, the case of alternating product 1, and the case of alternating sum 0 are all counted by A001055.

			The a(2) = 2 through a(8) = 8 factorizations:
