%N Numbers whose base-14 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 A296755 first for 224 = 120_14, which is in this sequence because DV(224,14) = 2 > UV(224,14)=1, but not in A296755 because the number of rises equals the number of falls. - _R. J. Mathar_, Jan 23 2018
