A071157 The zero-free, right-to-left factorial walk encoding for each rooted plane tree encoded by A014486. Sequence A071155 shown with factorial expansion (A007623).

0, 1, 11, 21, 111, 211, 121, 221, 321, 1111, 2111, 1211, 2211, 3211, 1121, 2121, 1221, 2221, 3221, 1321, 2321, 3321, 4321, 11111, 21111, 12111, 22111, 32111, 11211, 21211, 12211, 22211, 32211, 13211, 23211, 33211, 43211, 11121, 21121, 12121

Comments

Apart from the initial term (0, which encodes the null tree), if we scan the digits from the right (the least significant digit which is always 1) to the left (the most significant), then each successive digit to the left is at most one greater than the previous and never less than one.

Note: this finite decimal representation works only up to the 23712nd term, as the 23713rd such walk is already (10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1). The sequence A071158 shows the initial portion of this sequence sorted.
