COMMENTS

A pit is an index i such that d(i-1) > d(i) < d(i+1); a peak is an index i such that d(i-1) < d(i) > d(i+1). The sequences A296894-A296896 partition the natural numbers. See the guides at A296712 and A296882.

EXAMPLE

The base-14 digits of 44129 are 1,2,1,2,1; here #(pits) = 1 and #(peaks) = 2, so 44129 is in the sequence.

MATHEMATICA

z = 200; b = 14;

d[n_] := Differences[Sign[Differences[IntegerDigits[n, b]]]];

Select[Range [z], Count[d[#], -2] == Count[d[#], 2] &] (* A296894 *)

Select[Range [z], Count[d[#], -2] < Count[d[#], 2] &] (* A296895 *)

Select[Range [z], Count[d[#], -2] > Count[d[#], 2] &] (* A296896 *)
