A359142 Let s = sum of digits of n, let t = decimal concatenation of n and s, let u be obtained by deleting all copies of the leading digit of t from t, if this digit occurs in s. Then if u has only zero digits, a(n) = 0; if u has leading digit 0 but not all its digits are 0, delete all leading 0's from u and negate the result to get a(n); otherwise a(n) = u. 5

COMMENTS
Since nonzero numbers may not have leading zeros, we indicate their presence by negating the number.
For use in A359142, we also define a(n) for improper decimal numbers n with leading zeros by following exactly the same steps. To get a(073), for example, we append the digit sum 10, and delete the 0's from 07310, getting a(073) = 731. To get a(074), we append 11, getting 07411, so a(074) = -7411.
The sequence of n such that a(n) < 0 begins (109, 1009, 1018, 1019, 1027, 1028, 1029, 1036, ...): see A359144. - M. F. Hasler, Feb 01 2023
