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 A296861-A296863 partition the natural numbers. See the guides at A296882 and A296712.

EXAMPLE

The base-3 digits of 208 are 2, 1, 2, 0, 1; here #(pits) = 2 and #(peaks) = 1, so 208 is in the sequence.

MATHEMATICA

z = 200; b = 3;

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

Select[Range [z], Count[d[#], -2] == Count[d[#], 2] &] (* A296861 *)

Select[Range [z], Count[d[#], -2] < Count[d[#], 2] &] (* A296862 *)

Select[Range [z], Count[d[#], -2] > Count[d[#], 2] &] (* A296863 *)
