Comments

A pit is an index i such that d(i-1) > d(i) < d(i+1); a peak is an index i such that d(i-1) < d(i) > d(i+1). The sequences A296876-A296878 partition the natural numbers. See the guides at A296882 and A296712.

Examples

			The base-8 digits of 276 are 4,2,4; here #(pits) = 1 and #(peaks) = 0, so 276 is in the sequence.
