COMMENTS
First differs from A348383 at a(216) = 27, A348383(216) = 28.
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).
FORMULA
For n > 1, a(n) = A335434(n) + A010052(n).
EXAMPLE
The factorizations for n = 4, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48, 60, 64, 72:
4 12 24 30 36 48 60 64 72
2*2 2*6 3*8 5*6 4*9 6*8 2*30 8*8 8*9
3*4 4*6 2*15 6*6 2*24 3*20 2*32 2*36
2*2*3 2*12 3*10 2*18 3*16 4*15 4*16 3*24
2*2*6 2*3*5 3*12 4*12 5*12 2*4*8 4*18
2*3*4 2*2*9 2*3*8 6*10 2*2*16 6*12
2*3*6 2*4*6 2*5*6 2*2*4*4 2*4*9
3*3*4 3*4*4 3*4*5 2*6*6
2*2*3*3 2*2*12 2*2*15 3*3*8
2*2*3*4 2*3*10 3*4*6
2*2*3*5 2*2*18
2*3*12
2*2*3*6
2*3*3*4
2*2*2*3*3
The a(270) = 19 factorizations:
(2*3*5*9) (5*6*9) (3*90) (270)
(3*3*5*6) (2*3*45) (5*54)
(2*3*3*15) (2*5*27) (6*45)
(2*9*15) (9*30)
(3*3*30) (10*27)
(3*5*18) (15*18)
(3*6*15) (2*135)
(3*9*10)
Note that (2*3*3*3*5) is separable but has no alternating permutations.
