COMMENTS
Original name was: Number of alternating compositions of n into distinct parts.
A composition is up/down if it is alternately strictly increasing and strictly decreasing, starting with an increase. - Gus Wiseman, Jan 15 2022

FORMULA
G.f.: Sum_{k>=0} A000111(k)*x^(k*(k+1)/2)/Product_{i=1..k} (1-x^i). - Vladeta Jovovic, May 24 2007
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..A003056(n)} A000111(k) * A008289(n,k). - Alois P. Heinz, Dec 22 2021
a(n) = (A349054(n) + 1)/2. - Gus Wiseman, Jan 15 2022
