An up-jump j occurs at position i in p if p_{i} > p_{i-1} and j is the index of p_i in the increasingly sorted list of those elements in {p_{i}, ..., p_{n}} that are larger than p_{i-1}. A down-jump j occurs at position i in p if p_{i} < p_{i-1} and j is the index of p_i in the decreasingly sorted list of those elements in {p_{i}, ..., p_{n}} that are smaller than p_{i-1}. First index in the lists is 1 here.
