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 A296888-A296890 partition the natural numbers. See the guides at A296712 and A296882.

Examples

			The base-12 digits of 24361 are 1,2,1,2,1; here #(pits) = 1 and #(peaks) = 2, so 24361 is in the sequence.
