I've also found 498998999999, 7494994999999, 34999974999999 and some larger numbers, but not all values in between have been checked.

One is likely to find an example of the form 5*10^j - m*10^floor(j/2) - 1 or 7.5*10^j - m*10^floor(j/2) - 1 for j > 12 within the first 10^(floor(j/2)-1) m's.

Is this sequence finite? - Charles R Greathouse IV, Jan 12 2012

This sequence is infinite: for N = 7.5*10^j - 40*10^floor(j/2) - 1 one has A007953(N) = 9j-2 and A007953(N^4) <= 9j-2 for all j > 16, with equality for all even j > 16. - M. F. Hasler, Jan 14 2012

Formula

A122484 = { k in A067251 | A007953(k) >= A007953(k^4) }. - M. F. Hasler, Jan 14 2012

Example

67 is a term because 67 has a digital sum of 13 and 67^4 = 20151121 which also has a digital sum of 13.
594959999 has a digital sum of 68 and 594959999^4 has a digital sum of 67, i.e., less than 68.
