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
A pit is an index i such that d(i-1) > d(i) < d(i+1); a peak is an index i such that d(i-1) < d(i) > d(i+1). The sequences A296882-A296883 partition the natural numbers. See the guides at A296712 and A296882.

EXAMPLE
The base-10 digits of 12121 are 1,2,1,2,1; here #(pits) = 1 and #(peaks) = 2, so 12121 is in the sequence.
