%N Numbers whose base-10 digits have equal down-variation and up-variation; see Comments.

%C Suppose that 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). See the guide at A297330.\

%C Differs after the zero from A002113 first at 1011, which is not a palindrome but has DV(1011,10) = UV(1011,10) =1. - _R. J. Mathar_, Jan 23 2018

%C Apart from 0, the initial terms coincide with those of A266140, but the two sequences are different. First disagreement: a(109) = 1001 and A266140(110) = 1111. - _Georg Fischer_, Oct 09 2018

%e 13601 in base-10: 1,3,6,0,1, having DV = 6, UV = 6, so that 13601 is in the sequence.
