COMMENTS

There are 17 sixteen-digit terms in the sequence. Further terms are obtained (a) by inserting at the center of these terms any number of 9's and (b) by concatenating a term any number of times with itself and inserting an equal number of 0's at all junctures. Method (b) may be applied recursively to all terms. - Revised thanks to a comment from Hans Havermann, Jan 27 2004.

This is a working sequence. It is neither by computation nor by proof guaranteed that there are no smaller or interleaved terms.

FORMULA

n = f^17(n), n <> f^k(n) for k < 17, where f: x -> |x - reverse(x)|.
