A365217 Each term is a "Go down integer" (GDI), but a(n) + a(n+1) is always a "Go up integer" (GUI). More details in the Comments section.

Comments

The rightmost digit R of a GDI is always smaller than the leftmost digit L of the same GDI. The first such integer is 10, as we need at least two digits for a sound GDI. Accordingly, the R of a GUI is always larger than its L - the first such integer being 12. When R = L we have a "Go flat integer", or GFI. We admit that 0 is the first GFI (followed by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99, 101, 111, 121, etc.) This sequence is the lexicographically earliest of distinct nonnegative terms with this property, starting with a(1) = 10.

Examples

			a(1) + a(2) = 10 + 92 = 102 (a GUI);
a(2) + a(3) = 92 + 20 = 112 (a GUI);
a(3) + a(4) = 20 + 82 = 102 (a GUI);
a(4) + a(5) = 82 + 21 = 103 (a GUI);
a(5) + a(6) = 21 + 81 = 102 (a GUI); etc.
