COMMENT

'Reverse and Subtract' (cf. A072137) is defined by x -> |x - reverse(x)|. There is no number k > 0 such that |k - reverse(k)| = k, so 0 is the only period with length 1. Consequently this sequence consists of the numbers n such that repeated application of 'Reverse and Subtract' does not lead to a palindrome. It is an analogue of A023108, which uses 'Reverse and Add'. - A072141, A072142, A072143 give the numbers which generate periods of length 2, 14, 22 respectively.

EXAMPLE

1012 -> |1012 - 2101| = 1089 -> |1089 - 9801| = 8712 -> |8712 - 2178| = 6534 -> |6534 - 4356| = 2178 -> |2178 - 8712| = 6534; the period of the trajectory is 6534, 2178, and a palindrome is never reached.
