Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
Alternating sum starts with plus after the most significant digit, for example
1+0-1 = 0, so 101 is in the sequence, also
4+3-7 = 0, 1+0-7+6 = 0, so 437 and 1076 are in the sequence.
PROG
(Python)
a = []
for n in range(1, 2000):
t = str(n)
s = int(t[0])
s += sum((-1)**i * int(d) for i, d in enumerate(t[1:]))
if s == 0:
a.append(n)
print(a)
CROSSREFS
Cf. A135499: same definition except that the alternating sum starts with minus after the most significant digit.
