%N Numbers whose base-13 digits have greater up-variation than down-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 A296751 for example at 171 = 102_13, which is in this sequence because UV(171,13) = 2 > DV(171,13)=1, but not in A296751 because the number of rises and falls are equal. - _R. J. Mathar_, Jan 23 2018

%e 128 in base-13: 9,11, having DV = 0, UV = 2, so that 28 is in the sequence.

%t g[n_, b_] := Map[Total, GatherBy[Differences[IntegerDigits[n, b]], Sign]];

%t x[n_, b_] := Select[g[n, b], # < 0 &]; y[n_, b_] := Select[g[n, b], # > 0 &];

%t b = 13; z = 2000; p = Table[x[n, b], {n, 1, z}]; q = Table[y[n, b], {n, 1, z}];

%t w = Sign[Flatten[p /. {} -> {0}] + Flatten[q /. {} -> {0}]];

%t Take[Flatten[Position[w, -1]], 120] (* A297279 *)

%t Take[Flatten[Position[w, 0]], 120] (* A297280 *)

%t Take[Flatten[Position[w, 1]], 120] (* A297281 *)

%Y Cf. A297330, A297279, A297280.
