A331117 Lexicographically earliest sequence of distinct terms such that a(n+1) = a(n) + the largest odd digit of a(n), starting with a(n) = 1. If this addition is impossible, or if it leads to a term already in the sequence, restart the sequence from there with the smallest unused integer. 1

%C This sequence is a permutation of the positive integers.
