%N Lexicographically earliest sequence of distinct positive integers such that for any n > 0, the k rightmost digits of a(n+1) equal the k leftmost digits of a(n) for some k > 0.
%C Leading zeros are ignored.
%C This sequence is a permutation of the positive integers with inverse A360472:
%C - if a(n) < 10^e, then we can extend the sequence with a number of the form a(n) + k * 10^e (with k > 0),
%C - by the pigeonhole principle, there are infinitely many terms starting with the same nonzero digit, say with d,
%C - every number of the form 10*k + d (with k >= 0) appears in the sequence,
%C - any number v can appear after a term of the form v * 10^k + d (with k > 0).
