COMMENTS

This is also the set of numbers with no "4" in their base-5 representation. In fact, for any prime p, the sequence consisting of numbers with no (p-1) in their base-p expansion is the same as the earliest sequence containing no p-term arithmetic progression. - Nathaniel Johnston, Jun 26-27 2011
