The number at the top of the pyramid is 'a(n)'. %C A241494 Through the so-called "pyramidalization" process (see A227876), a given nonnegative integer is expanded into its digits and transformed into a pyramid of successive absolute differences between digits. The present sequence is built only with the top number 'a(n)' generated from its correspondent nonnegative integer 'n'. %H A241494 Filipi R. de Oliveira, <a href="/A241494/b241494.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..9999</a> %F A241494 a(n)=n, if 0<=n<=9. %F A241494 a(n)=|mod(n;10)-floor(n/10)|, if 10<=n<=99. %e A241494 If n=1735, a(n)=0: %e A241494 ______0 ------>a(n) %e A241494 ____2_:_2 %e A241494 __6_:_4_:_2 %e A241494 1_:_7_:_3_:_5 %o A241494 (PARI) a(n)=my(d=Vecsmall(digits(n))); forstep(k=#d-1,1,-1, for(j=1,k, d[j]=abs(d[j]-d[j+1]))); d[1] \\ _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Apr 24 2025 %Y A241494 Cf.
