Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Number of alternately co-strong reversed integer partitions of n.
%C A sequence is alternately co-strong if either it is empty, equal to (1), or its run-lengths are weakly increasing (co-strong) and, when reversed, are themselves an alternately co-strong sequence.
%C Also the number of alternately strong integer partitions of n.
%e The a(1) = 1 through a(8) = 12 reversed partitions:
%e (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8)
%e (11) (12) (13) (14) (15) (16) (17)
%e (111) (22) (23) (24) (25) (26)

%e (2222)
%e (11222)
%e (11111111)
%e For example, starting with the composition y = (1,2,3,3,4,4,4) and repeatedly taking run-lengths and reversing gives (1,2,3,3,4,4,4) -> (3,2,1,1) -> (2,1,1) -> (2,1) -> (1,1) -> (2) -> (1). All of these have weakly increasing run-lengths and the last is equal to (1), so y is counted under a(21).

%Y The total (instead of alternating) version is A316496.
%Y Alternately strong partitions are A317256.
%Y The case of ordinary (not reversed) partitions is (also) A317256.
%Y The generalization to compositions is A332338.
