COMMENTS
The "may" in the definition should clarify that, e.g., 290200 is in the sequence since it may represent a date, but not necessarily in any century.
The sequence is finite, the largest term is a(36525)=311299.
There are 366*25 + 365*75 = 36525 possible dates. - Giovanni Resta, Feb 28 2013
EXAMPLE
a(1)=10100 represents e.g., Jan 01 1900 or Jan 01 2000.
a(100)=10199 (for Jan 01 1999) is followed by a(101)=10200 (for Feb 01 2000).
a(1200)=11299 (for Dec 01 1999) is followed by a(1201)=20100 (for Jan 02 2000).
The sequence becomes more interesting after the term 281299, since then the numbers DD02YY drop out for DD > 29 and for DD = 29 depending on YY.
