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 A296897-A296899 partition the natural numbers. See the guides at A296712 and A296882.

EXAMPLE
The base-15 digits of 3842 are 1,2,1,2; here #(pits) = 1 and #(peaks) = 1, so 3842 is in the sequence.
