Sequence gives number of steps for S_n to reach a cycle, or -1 if no cycle is ever reached. %C A117831 It is conjectured that S_n always reaches a cycle. %C A117831 There are 22 different cycles of length 90 with 4-digit components. I guess that at most half of the numbers between 1000 and 10000 lead to the cycle of length 54 shown in A117830. - Klaus Brockhaus (klaus-brockhaus(AT)t-online.de), May 05 2006 %H A117831 N. J. A.
