The smallest starting value for which the trajectory under A329200 does not end in a fixed point is n = 8059: This leads into a cycle of length 5, 11090 -> 10891 -> 12709 -> 11130 -> 11107 -> 11090. "Rotated" as to start with the smallest member, this yields the first row of this table, (10891, 12709, 11130, 11107, 11090).
Starting value n = 37908 leads after two steps into the next cycle (44232, 44021, 43600, 44960, 45496, 44343), of length 6. Again "rotating" this list as to start with the smallest member, it yields the second row of this table.
Starting value n = 68060 leads after 8 steps into a new cycle of length 7, (75800, 78180, 79958, 77915, 78199, 79979, 82001). However, this will NOT give row 3 but only row 4, because:
The starting value 70502 leads after 3 steps into the loop (74780, 78098, 76207) which comes lexicographically earlier than the previously mentioned cycle of length 7. Therefore this is row 3 of this table.
Starting value 70515 enters the loop (111090, 110891, 112709, 111130, 111107) after 15 steps. This becomes row 5.
This row 5 is the same as row 1 with the initial digit 1 duplicated in each term: it is the second member of this infinite family of cycles of length 5. Similarly, rows 2 and 3 (where all terms have the same length and initial digit) also lead to infinite families of cycles by successively duplicating the initial digit of each term.
The pattern 858699257(257|857)*84302(302|342)* also yields cycles. - Lars Blomberg, Nov 15 2019
