Example

a(5) = 82|9 - 82 = 747.

Maple

a:= proc(n) option remember; `if`(n<3, n-1, (l->
      add(l[i]*10^(i-1), i=1..nops(l))-a(n-1))(map(
      x-> convert(x, base, 10)[], [a(n-2), a(n-1)])))
    end:
seq(a(n), n=1..12);  # Alois P. Heinz, Jun 09 2021

Mathematica

a[1]=0; a[2]=1; a[n_]:=FromDigits[Join[IntegerDigits[a[n-1]], IntegerDigits[a[n-2]]]]-a[n-1]; Array[a, 12] (* Stefano Spezia, Apr 25 2023 *)
