A097060 Revrepfigits (reverse replicating Fibonacci-like digits): Numbers k whose reversal occurs in a sequence generated by starting with the k digits of a number and then continuing the sequence with a number that is the sum of the previous k terms.

Comments

Numbers ending in zero are not permitted since the zeros are dropped upon reversal. However, terms with internal zeros such as 90711 are permitted. Conjectures: 1. Sequence is infinite. 2. Revrepfigits are more rare than repfigits.

There are no 12-digit revrepfigits.

Example

8166 is in the sequence since the sequence 8,1,6,6,21,34,67,128,250, 479,924,1781,3434,6618,..., contains the reversal of 8166.

Mathematica

rKeithQ[n_Integer] := Module[{b = IntegerDigits[n], r, s, k = 0}, If[Mod[n, 10] == 0, False, r = FromDigits[Reverse[b]]; s = Total[b]; While[s < r, AppendTo[b, s]; k++; s = 2*s - b[[k]]]; s == r]]; Select[Range[10, 100000], rKeithQ] (* T. D. Noe, Mar 15 2011 *)
