Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 60th year, we have over 367,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
A comma number n is the concatenation of numbers a,b (no leading zeros allowed) which occurs ("again") in the comma sequence S = S(a,b) defined by S[0]=a, S[1]=b, S[n+1] = S[n] + 10*last_digit(S[n-1]) + first_digit(S[n]), i.e., add to a given term the number formed by the two digits surrounding the preceding comma.
The sequence S is infinite and straightforward to compute, in contrast to the implicitly defined terms of A121805.
The sequence S(a,b) is strictly increasing, unless a=0 (mod 10) and b=0 (which implies n=0 (mod 100)), in which case all following terms are zero.

EXAMPLE
a(1)=10 is in the sequence, because splitting 10 into (1,0) gives the sequence S(1,0) = 1, 0, 0+10=10, 10+01=11, 11+01=12, 12+11=23,... which contains 10.
a(10)=109 is in the sequence, because splitting 109 into (10,9) gives the sequence S(10,9) = 10, 9, 9+09=18, 18+91=109, 109+81=190,... which contains 109.
108 is not in the sequence since S(10,8) does not contain 108 and it is not allowed to split 108 -> 1,08 -> S(1,08).
