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}.

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.

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

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)

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.

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.
We define a sequence to be weakly alternating if it is alternately weakly increasing and weakly decreasing, starting with either.
Conjecture: The directed cases, which count non-weakly up/down or non-weakly down/up patterns, are both equal to the strong case: A350252.

			The a(4) = 32 patterns:
  (1,1,2,3)  (2,1,1,2)  (3,1,1,2)  (4,1,2,3)
  (1,2,2,1)  (2,1,1,3)  (3,1,2,3)  (4,2,1,3)
  (1,2,3,1)  (2,1,2,3)  (3,1,2,4)  (4,3,1,2)
  (1,2,3,2)  (2,1,3,4)  (3,2,1,1)  (4,3,2,1)
  (1,2,3,3)  (2,3,2,1)  (3,2,1,2)
  (1,2,3,4)  (2,3,3,1)  (3,2,1,3)
  (1,2,4,3)  (2,3,4,1)  (3,2,1,4)
  (1,3,2,1)  (2,4,3,1)  (3,3,2,1)
