A166121 Let dsf(n) = n_1^{n_1}+n_2^{n_2}+n_3^{n_3} + n_m^{n_m}, where {n_1,n_2,n_3,...n_m} is the list of the digits of an integer n. dsf(791621579) =776537851 and dsf(776537851) = 19300779,...,dsf(824599) = 791621579,.. in this way this 11 numbers make a loop for the function dsf. 2

COMMENTS

In fact there are only 8 loops in the whole nonnegative integers for the dsf-function that we defined. We have discovered this fact with the calculation by Mathematica and other general purpose languages.

FORMULA

Let dsf(n) = n_1^{n_1}+n_2^{n_2}+n_3^{n_3} + n_m^{n_m}, where {n_1,n_2,n_3,...n_m} is the list of the digits of an integer n. By applying the function dsf to 791621579 we can get a loop of the length of 11.

EXAMPLE

This is an reiterative process that starts with 791621579.

MATHEMATICA

dsf[n_] := Block[{m = n, t}, t = IntegerDigits[m]; Sum[Max[1, t[[k]]]^t[[k]], {k, Length[t]}]]; NestList[dsf, 791621579, 22]
