COMMENTS
Suppose that a number n has base-b digits b(m), b(m-1), ..., b(0). The base-b down-variation of n is the sum DV(n,b) of all d(i)-d(i-1) for which d(i) > d(i-1); the base-b up-variation of n is the sum UV(n,b) of all d(k-1)-d(k) for which d(k) < d(k-1). The total base-b variation of n is the sum TV(n,b) = DV(n,b) + UV(n,b). Every positive integer occurs infinitely many times. See A297330 for a guide to related sequences and partitions of the natural numbers.

EXAMPLE
30 in base 15: 2,0; here DV = 2, so that a(30) = 2.
MATHEMATICA
g[n_, b_] := Differences[IntegerDigits[n, b]];
b = 15; z = 120; Table[-Total[Select[g[n, b], # < 0 &]], {n, 1, z}]; (* A297243 *)
Table[Total[Select[g[n, b], # > 0 &]], {n, 1, z}]; (* A297244 *)
