Concatenated digits of pyramidalized numbers: Write the decimal digits of n (a nonnegative integer) and take successive absolute differences ("pyramidalization"), then concatenate, from left to right, all the digits in each level of the pyramid, and finally concatenate those results for all levels, from the base up. The result is a(n).

COMMENTS
Through the so-called "pyramidalization" process a given nonnegative integer is decomposed into its digits, which are "reassembled" afterwards by concatenating each level of the pyramid (separately, from left to right) and subsequently concatenating these results, from the base to the top.
The number of digits of the resulting number is the triangular number t(d) where d is the number of digits in the original number n.

FORMULA
a(n) = n for 0 <= n <= 9;
a(n) = 10*n + |floor(n/10) - (n mod 10)| for 10 <= n <= 99.
EXAMPLE
a(1248) = 1248124121:
1 --> 1
1 2 --> 1.2
1 2 4 --> 1.2.4
1 2 4 8 --> 1.2.4.8 -->> 1248.124.12.1 --> 1248124121
