a(1) could also have been defined to be 10. In that case the initial terms would be 10, 21, 32, 43, 54, 65, 76, 87, 98, 109, 1110, 1211, 1312, 1413, 1514, 1615, 1716, 1817, 1918, 2019, 2120, 2221, 2322, 2423, 2524, 2625, 2726, 2827, 2928, 3029, 3130, 3231, 3332, 3433, ... (Comment added in case someone is searching for that sequence.) - N. J. A. Sloane, Aug 11 2018

EXAMPLE
a(12) = 1211 because 12 and 11 are two consecutive decreasing numbers.
