This sequences lists the self-repeating starting values n for the iterative sequence defined in A328680 up to starting values of n = 10^8. Each number in this sequence, when acting as the starting value for the A328680 iteration, will be the first number repeated in the iteration. Note that the other numbers appearing in the iterative sequence for a given start value n will in general NOT be other entries of this sequence as the iteration depends critically on the start value of n itself. As can be seen these numbers are quite rare, there being only 19 entries for n up to 100 million. It is unknown if this is a finite or infinite sequence.
