Let Sndenote the symmetric group of all permutations of {1,2,…,n}. In this paper, we consider the number R(n,k) of permutations in Snwith k alternating runs, and the number ak(n) of permutations in Snwith the longest alternating subsequence of length k. By using the grammatical method due to Chen, we obtain grammatical interpretations of the generating functions of these numbers, as well as convolution identities involving these generating functions. Moreover, we establish a connection between alternating runs and André permutations.
