COMMENTS

Another way to phrase the proof of uniqueness: after we take the last n-1 digits to be the previous number in the sequence, all odd possibilities for the first digit give different remainders mod 5. By pigeon hole principle, exactly one of them generates the required number. - Tanya Khovanova, Jun 18, 2009

FORMULA

a(n) = d(n)*10^(n-1) + a(n-1), where d(n), the leading digit of a(n), is one of the odd digits 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 (forming the complete set of residues modulo 5) and is uniquely defined by the congruence: d(n) == (- a(n-1) / 10^(n-1)) (mod 5). [From Max Alekseyev]

MAPLE

a:= proc(n) option remember; local k, l; if n=1 then 5 else l:= a(n-1); for k from 1 to 9 by 2 while (parse (cat(k, l)) mod 5^n)<>0 do od; parse (cat(k, l)) fi end: seq (a(n), n=1..30); # Alois P. Heinz, Jun 18 2009

MATHEMATICA

nxt[n_]:=Module[{x=FromDigits/@(Prepend[IntegerDigits[n], # ]&/@{1, 3, 5, 7, 9}), l}, l=IntegerLength[n]+1; First[Select[x, Mod[ #, 5^l]==0&]]]; NestList[nxt, 5, 25] [From Harvey P. Dale, Jul 06 2009
