COMMENT

Multiplicative suborder of 2 (mod 2n+1) (or sord(2, 2n+1)).

For the complexity of computing this, see A002326.

It appears that under iteration of the base-n Kaprekar map, for even n > 2 (A165012, A165051, A165090, A151949 in bases 4, 6, 8, 10), almost all cycles are of length a(n/2 - 1); proved under the additional constraint that the cycle contains at least one element satisfying "number of digits (n-1) - number of digits 0 = o(total number of digits)".
