COMMENTS

Start with binary and work upwards, expressing n in the given base (2,3,4... b). The term a(n)=b is the lowest base in which no two digits in n are the same.

See A123699 for another version of the same sequence. - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jun 15 2008

EXAMPLE

75 is 1001011 in binary (base 2), 2210 in base 3 and 1023 in base 4. So a(75) = 4 since 1023 has distinct digits (and neither 1001011 nor 2210 do).

CROSSREFS

Cf. A010784 (base 10), A062813 (gives lower bound for a term).
