a(n) is the least positive integer not yet in the sequence in which the largest digit of a(n-2) appears among its digits; a(1)=1, a(2)=2.

COMMENTS
Starting from the term a(89)=89, every term must contain a 9.
EXAMPLE
For n=5, a(n-2) = 10 which has largest digit 1. The positive integers containing 1 are 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, ... (A011531). Since 1 and 10 are already in the sequence, a(5) = 11. - Michael B. Porter, Mar 17 2018
