Special thanks to SamuPiano for inventing this new constraint!
Rules:
1. Normal sudoku rules apply.
2. Digits on a purple line (INCLUDING the two circles) must form a consecutive, non-repeating digits in any order.
3. Purple lines are also split peas line. The sum of the values of cells on purple lines connecting two circles is equal to a concatenation of the two values in the circles, in some order (e.g. 3_346_1 is valid, as 3+4+6=13).
4. The inequality symbol points to the smaller of the two digits.
NOTE: To clarify, R6C7 connects line to R9C5.
Do have a go!

my first split peas line puzzle...
took me a while to get used to the idea, but once all lines got their respective options figured, it was actually an easy solve, or say a very elegant and smooth one, thank you, that was great fun

Fantastic puzzle and much easier if you know some math tricks :) Great twist on these lines! This was excellent setting!
Thanks SamuPiano! Really loved the split peas line constraint.

Wow, what a great puzzle! Having the circles as a part of the renban constraint yields some really nice implications. I loved the puzzle from start to finish. Thank you for setting and sharing, Ridhwan!
Thanks you for nice comment, sujoyku! Glad you liked it.
