%N Smallest multiple of n in which the most significant occurrence of the digit string of n is preceded and followed by the digit string of (n-1) and (n+1) as can be seen in the forward concatenation of the natural numbers.

%F The following inequality obviously holds for n > 1: a(n) >= (n-1)*10^(floor(1+log n) + floor(1+log(n+1))) + n*10^(floor(1+log(n+1))) + n + 1 where log is taken base 10, not base e. - _Sam Alexander_, Oct 19 2003

%e a(1) = 12 = 012, a(9) = 8910, a(13) = 1213147, 13 is sandwiched between 12 and 14.
