COMMENT

n is read one digit at a time, leftover single digits describe themselves, and trailing zeros are ignored.

In many, but not all cases, a(n) acts as an inverse to the "Look and Say" sequence A005150. For example, 4113 -> 142113 under the "Look and Say", and 142113 -> 4113 under a(n).

EXAMPLE

142113 can be read as one "4", two "1"s, one "3", and so describes 4113. Hence a(142113) = 4113. 123 can be read as one "2", "3", and so describes 23. (The leftover digit 3 describes itself.) Hence a(123) = 23. Note that a(1213) = 23 also. 40 can be read as four "0"s, so a(40) = 0. (Trailing zeros are ignored.) 4. a(5) = 5. A single digit describes itself.

CROSSREFS

Cf. A005150.
