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 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Between two successive odd digits "a" and "b" there are exactly |a-b| even digits.

%N Between two successive odd digits "a" and "b" there are exactly |a-b| even digits.

%C The sequence is started with a(1) = 1 and always extended with the smallest unused integer not leading to a contradiction.

%C The sequence is not a permutation of the natural numbers as 31, for instance, will never appear (according to the definition, 31 should show |3-1| = 2 even digits between " 3 " and " 1 " and doesn't).

%e Between the first 1 and the first 3 of the sequence, there are indeed |1-3| = 2 even digits (0 and 2).

%e Between the first 3 and the first 5 of the sequence, there are indeed |3-5| = 2 even digits (4 and 6).

%e Between the first 5 and the second 1 of the sequence, there are indeed |5-1| = 4 even digits (8,2,0 and 2).

%e Between the second 1 and the third 1 of the sequence, there are indeed |1-1| = 0 even digits.

%e Between the third 1 and the first 9 of the sequence, there are indeed |1-9| = 8 even digits (0,2,2,2,4,2,6 and 2).
