A345165 Number of integer partitions of n without an alternating permutation.

Comments

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 has the anti-run permutations (2,3,2,1,2) and (2,1,2,3,2).
