A062886 Smallest multiple of 2n+1 with property that digits are odd and each digit is two more (mod 10) than the previous digit; or 0 if no such number exists.

Comments

The size of terms of this sequence varies wildly. For example, a(453) has 755 digits, while a(456)=913. The only numbers n for which a(n)=0 up to n=500 are those for which 2*n+1 is divisible by 25. - Nathaniel Johnston, May 19 2011

Example

a(7) = 135 = 3*(2*7 + 1) has increasing odd digits.
a(12) does not exist because a number in base 10 divisible by 25 ends with 00, 25, 50 or 75, so a(12)=0.
