A165302 a(n) is the smallest number not already in the sequence, such that the concatenation of all a(n) displays the periodic digit string 1, 2, 3, 4 (and repeat). 4

%N a(n) is the smallest number not already in the sequence, such that the concatenation of all a(n) displays the periodic digit string 1, 2, 3, 4 (and repeat).

%e Starting from 1, 2, 3, 4, the next number must be 12 because we need to continue with a 1. But 1 is already in the sequence so we need to attach a 2 -> 12. And so on.
