COMMENTS

Sequence is a permutation of the positive integers.

Terms a(65) to a(76) are 1024, 60, 4096, 72, 59049, 84, 531441, 90, 9765625, 96, 244140625, 108. - Klaus Brockhaus, Nov 13 2005

EXAMPLE

Among positive integers not among the first 4 terms of the sequence, a(5) = 9 is the lowest such that |d(a(5))-d(a(4))| = |d(9)-d(3)| = |3-2| is 1.
