COMMENTS

A sequence is alternating if it is alternately strictly increasing and strictly decreasing, starting with either.
Also permutations of {1...n} matching the consecutive patterns (1,2,3) or (3,2,1). Matching only one of these gives A065429.

(1,2,4,3) (3,2,1,4)
(1,3,4,2) (3,4,2,1)
(1,4,3,2) (4,1,2,3)
(2,1,3,4) (4,2,1,3)
(2,3,4,1) (4,3,1,2)
(2,4,3,1) (4,3,2,1)
