%N Lexicographically earliest sequence of distinct positive integers such that for any n > 0, the decimal representations of a(2*n-1) and of a(2*n+1) appear as substrings in the decimal representation of a(2*n).

%C This sequence has similarities with A281978; here we look for substrings, there for divisors.

%C This sequence has similarities with A262323: in both sequences, consecutive terms overlap.
