%N Numbers k such that iterating x -> digsum(x)^2 + 1 from k one or more times results in a number < 10.

%C The number of iterations must be nonzero.

%C From _Michael S. Branicky_, May 15 2021: (Start)

%C f(x) = digsum(x)^2 + 1 < x for x >= 400.

%C All iterations terminate or lead to the cycle 65 -> 122 -> 26.

%C There are 5, 47, 395, 3213, 27724, 253490, 2362998, 22649995, 224689951, 2236788357 terms with 1..10 digits, resp. (End)

%H Michael S. Branicky, <a href="/A344208/b344208.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a>

%e 15 is a term because (1+5)^2 + 1 = 37, (3+7)^2 + 1 = 101, (1+0+1)^2 + 1 = 5.

%e 13 is not a term in this sequence because iterating 13 through this function will never yield a single-digit number. Specifically, 13 -> 17 -> 65 -> 122 -> 26 -> 65 -> ... .

%o (Python)

%o def f(x): return sum(map(int, str(x)))**2 + 1

%o def ok(n):

%o iter = f(n) # set to n for number of iterations >= 0

%o while iter > 9:

%o if iter in {65, 122, 26}: return False

%o iter = f(iter)

%o return True

%o print(list(filter(ok, range(1, 128)))) # _Michael S. Branicky_, May 14 2021
