Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Numbers n such that the iterative cycle: n -> sum of digits of n^2 has only one distinct element.

COMMENTS
Since the only numbers invariant under this iteration are 1 and 9, n is contained in this sequence iff the sum of digits of n^2 is 1 or 9.
EXAMPLE
6 -> 3+6 = 9 -> 8+1 = 9 thus 9 is the only element of the iterative cycle of 6. 12 -> 1+4+4 = 9 -> 8+1 = 9 ...
