First differs from A096825 at a(525) = 3, A096825(525) = 4.
First differs from A345926 at a(90) = 4, A345926(90) = 3.
The alternating sum of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(i-1) y_i. Of course, the alternating sum of prime factors is also the reverse-alternating sum of reversed prime factors.
Also the number of distinct "sums of prime factors" of divisors d|n such that bigomega(d) = bigomega(n)/2 rounded up.

EXAMPLE
The divisors of 525 with 2 prime factors are: 15, 21, 25, 35, with prime factors {3,5}, {3,7}, {5,5}, {5,7}, with distinct sums {8,10,12}, so a(525) = 3.
