COMMENTS

Starting at n and iterating f, a(n) is the first number reached that contains digit zero.

Record values of the number of steps to obtain a(n) are 10 for n = 1, 27 for n = 187, 28 for n = 3237326, 32 for n = 3515987, 33 for n = 22572473. It is conjectured that a(n) is obtained in a finite number of steps for every n.

EXAMPLE

f(5) = 10, f(10) = 10, hence a(5) = 10; f(19) = 28, f(28) = 44, f(44) = 60, f(60) = 60, hence a(19) = 60.
