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”).

A339139
Lexicographically earliest sequence of distinct nonnegative terms such that the last digit d of a(n), for n > 1, is the sum of the two closest digits of d (they are the leftmost digit of a(n+1) and the digit on the left of d).

COMMENTS
The last two digits of a(n) must be in ascending order (thus no term of the sequence ends in 0).
EXAMPLE
a(2) = 2 and 2 is the sum of 1 + 1 (closest digits to 2);
a(3) = 12 and 2 is the sum of 1 + 1 (closest digits to 2);
a(4) = 13 and 3 is the sum of 1 + 2 (closest digits to 3);
a(5) = 23 and 3 is the sum of 2 + 1 (closest digits to 3); etc.
