COMMENTS
'Reverse and Subtract' (cf. A072137) is defined by x -> |x - reverse(x)|. For small n the last term of the preperiodic part of the trajectory (cf. A072139) is a palindrome, so this sequence is a weak analog of A033665, which uses 'Reverse and Add'. - 1012 is the first n such that last term of the preperiodic part is not palindromic (cf. A072140).

EXAMPLE
a(8) = 1017, since 1017 is the smallest number whose 'Reverse and Subtract' trajectory has eight preperiodic terms: 1017 -> 6084 -> 1278 -> 7443 -> 3996 -> 2997 -> 4995 -> 999.
