Hello SeqFans,

S = 1,144,146,153,156,160,165,176,184,197,274,288,294,315,324,336,352,374, ...

We want:
1) S to be strictly increasing
2) all first diff to be different one from another and not yet present in S
3) a(n+1) to be the smallest integer such that |a(n)-a(n+1)| divides the 
   concatenation [a(n),a(n+1)]

Here is how we get S, starting with 1:

      S = 1,144,146,153,156,160,165,176,184,197,274,288,294,315,324,336,352,374, ...
1st dif:  143  2   7   3   4   5  11   8  13  77  14   6   21  9  12  16   22

143 is the smallest integer not yet present and dividing 1144   (=8)
  2 is the smallest integer not yet present and dividing 144146 (=72073)
  7 is the smallest integer not yet present and dividing 146153 (=20879)
  3 is the smallest integer not yet present and dividing 153156 (=51052)
  4 is the smallest integer not yet present and dividing 156160 (=39040)
  5 is the smallest integer not yet present and dividing 160165 (=32033)
 11 is the smallest integer not yet present and dividing 165176 (=15016)
...

If we drop the "strictly increasing" constraint, we'll get T (which
is an incredible nightmare to calculate by hand):

     T = 1, 144, 43, 134, 108, 9, 6, 4, 158, ...
1st dif:  143 101  91   26  99  3  2  154 ...

More terms for S & T (if of interest)?

Best,
É.
