COMMENTS

Numbers of A031944 do not appear in this sequence. After a number which has base-3 digits 0 and 1, a number of the form 3^k-1 (see A024023) follows by definition, because its base-3 digits are all 2.

EXAMPLE

The 4th term cannot be 4 because 4(base10)=11(base3) shares a common digit 1 with a(3)=3(base10)=10(base3). It cannot be 5(base10)=12(base3) because this shares the digit 1 with 3=10(base3). It cannot be 6(base10)=20(base3) because this shares the digit 0 with 3=10(base3). It cannot be 7(base10)=21(base3) because this shares the digit 1 with 3=10(base3). It becomes a(4)=8(base10)=22(base3) which does not have the digit 0 or 1 of a(3)=10(base3).
