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”).

The larger term of the pair (a(n), a(n+1)) is always prime and the larger digit of any pair of adjacent digits is also prime.

%N The larger term of the pair (a(n), a(n+1)) is always prime and the larger digit of any pair of adjacent digits is also prime.

%C The sequence is started with a(1) = 0 and always extended with the smallest integer not yet present and not leading to a contradiction.

%C If two successive digits are equal (e.g., 2,2) we accept that there is a "larger one" (2).

%C The digits "8" and "9" cannot be present in the sequence as no "prime digit" is larger than "8" or "9".
