As the sequence is infinite no term, except a(1), can be a power of 10.
There are no fixed points in the first 200000 terms other than the first two terms, although more may exist.

Scott R. Shannon, Image of the first 200000 terms. The thin green line is a(n) = n.
EXAMPLE
a(9) = 18 as 18 is unused, shares a factor with a(8) = 15, and R(18) = 81 shares a factor with R(15) = 51.
