AT-OEMO-REG 2022 Problem 2

Determine the number of ten-digit positive integers with the following properties: $\bullet$ Each of the digits $0, 1, 2, . . . , 8$ and $9$ is contained exactly once. $\bullet$ Each digit, except $9$, has a neighbouring digit that is larger than it. (Note. For example, in the number $1230$, the digits $1$ and $3$ are the neighbouring digits of $2$ while $2$ and $0$ are the neighbouring digits of $3$. The digits $1$ and $0$ have only one neighbouring digit.)
