A166024 We define a function dsf. Let n be a non-negative integer, then dsf(n) = n_1^{n_1}+n_2^{n_2}+n_3^{n_3} + n_m^{n_m}, where {n_1,n_2,n_3,...n_m} is the list of the digits of an integer n. dsf(421845123) =16780890 and dsf(16780890) = 421845123, and in this way these 2 numbers make a loop for the function dsf. +0

COMMENT

In fact there are only 8 loops in the whole non-negative integers for the dsf-function that we defined.

FORMULA

Let dsf(n) = n_1^{n_1}+n_2^{n_2}+n_3^{n_3} + n_m^{n_m}, where {n_1,n_2,n_3,...n_m} is the list of the digits of an integer n. By applying the function dsf to 421845123 we can get a loop of the length of 2.

EXAMPLE

This is an reiterative process that starts with 421845123.

MATHEMATICA

dsf[n_] := Block[{m = n, t}, t = IntegerDigits[m]; Sum[Max[1, t[[k]]]^t[[k]], {k, Length[t]}]]; NestList[dsf, 421845123, 4]
