A113917 Maximal element of Image^inf({ 2 }) under repeated base-n zero-split squaring. 1

COMMENTS

Define f_b(x) to be the set of base b numbers left after splitting x^2 at its zero digits and Image_b(S) = union_{x in S}{ { x } union f_b(S) }, then a(n) = max(Image_n^inf({ 2 }))

Conjecture: a(n) is finite for all n

EXAMPLE

f_10(29648) = { 4, 39, 879 } since 29648^2 = 879003904

a(8) = 4 since Image_8({ 2 }) = { 2, 4 } and f_8({ 2, 4 }) = { 2, 4 } and max({ 2, 4 }) is 4.
