%N Numbers whose base-12 digits have greater down-variation than 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 from A296749 first at 168 = 120_12, which is in not in A296749 because it has the same number of rises and falls, but in here because DV(168,12) =2 > UV(168,12) =1. - _R. J. Mathar_, Jan 23 2018
