%N Numbers whose base-14 digits have equal down-variation and 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 first from A029959 after the zero for 2759 = 1011_14, which is not a palindrome in base 14 but has UV(2759,14) = DV(2759,14) = 1. - _R. J. Mathar_, Jan 23 2018
