%N Numbers k, not ending in 0, such that the consecutive digits of k^2 differ by 0 or 1.

%C Equivalently, numbers not ending in 0, whose square belong to A032981.

%C All members k ending in 1 are generators of infinite numbers of the form k*10^e which satisfy the same property. In a sense, here we list only "primitive" terms, not ending in 0.

%C a(24) > 10^17, if it exists.

%e 81655720279388 belongs to this sequence because the consecutive digits of its square, 6667656654345656676777654544, differ by 0 or 1.
