%N Multiply each term by 3 and erase the leftmost digit of the result: this leaves the sequence unchanged.
%C This is the lexicographically earliest sequence of distinct positive terms with this property.
%C If the erasure of the leftmost digit leaves one or more leading zeros in the result, erase also those zeros.
%H Alois P. Heinz, <a href="/A365986/b365986.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..2000</a>
%e a(1) = 1 and 3*1 = 3; erasing the leftmost digit 3 leaves nothing;
%e a(2) = 7 and 3*7 = 21; erasing the leftmost digit 2 leaves 1;
%e a(3) = 9 and 3*9 = 27; erasing the leftmost digit 2 leaves 7;
%e a(4) = 13 and 3*13 = 39; erasing the leftmost digit 3 leaves 9;
%e a(5) = 71 and 3*71 = 213; erasing the leftmost digit 2 leaves 13; etc.
%e We see that the last column of the above table is the sequence itself.
