Number of digits of each term in this sequence is sequence A000930. - Dmitry Kamenetsky, Jan 17 2009
Each of the subsequences a(5n), a(5n-1), ..., a(5n-4) seem to converge to a different fixed point of the operation (if the terms are seen as sequences of digits). - M. F. Hasler, Jun 24 2016
a(20) has 1278 decimal digits. - Michael De Vlieger, Jun 24 2016
