Hello Paolo,

> I think you need to better specify the rules. For instance 
if more than one digit have  to be present in a number (case 
of a(5)) should we keep the precedence and put the first digit 
to insert as less significant than the second an so on? Or may 
we adjust the digits in any order, trying to insert the minimum 
number a(n+1)>a(n)?

... you are right, Paolo -- this was not clear enough; my 
"natural" way to see this would be:

- the order in which the digits must be present in an integer
  has no importance: a(5) = 102 is ok (the first writing cons-
  traint on a(5) is given by the last digit of a(2) which is
  "2";  a(5) doesn't have to start with this "2"; a(5) has to
  contain "2" [in the minimum number a(n+1)>a(n), yes]

(BTW, I made a mistake in the rule (a) -- which should read now:

>Two more easy rules:
>
 a) When there is no writing constraint on a(n),
    take a(n) = a(n-1) + 1
>b) When there is a writing constraint on a(n),
>   take the smallest a(n) > a(n-1) not leading
>   to a contradiction

... I'll check yr seq tonight -- many, many thanks for yr post!
Best,
É.

Dear Eric,

I tried to follow your indications and I have computed the sequence up to 50 terms (free from mistakes?):

1,2,10,20,102,103,104,112,113,123,124,134,143,153,154,164,234,243,244,254,264,334,335,340,404,414,424,425,435,445,454,464,465,475,485,545,554,555,565,575,585,645,646,650,705,715,725,735,736,746

I think you need to better specify the rules. For instance if more than one digit have  to be present in a number (case of a(5)) should we keep the precedence and put the first digit to insert as less significant than the second an so on? Or may we adjust the digits in any order, trying to insert the minimum number a(n+1)>a(n)?

Ciao

Paolo

Hello SeqFans,

... as said above, the last digit "d" of a(n)
must be present in a(n+1+d).

Two more easy rules:

a) When there is no writing constraint on a(n),
   take a(n) = a(n) + 1
b) When there is a writing constraint on a(n),
   take the smallest a(n) > a(n-1) not leading
   to a contradiction

---

We then have (if I don't miss smtg):

     n = 1  2   3   4   5    6    7    8    9    10   11   12   13   14   
     S = 1, 2, 10, 20, 102, 103, 104, 112, 113, 123, 124, ...
ObDigit:    -   1   0   02   -    -     2   -     3    2    4    3    3    

Could please someone compute S (as this is the 
third time I make a mistake in the first terms :-(

Best,
É.
