Hello SeqFans,
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/RecurringDigitalInvariant.html
... what if k = "length of the considered integer"?

(k = 2 for the integer 14, for instance)

Starting with said 14:

 14 -> 1^2 + 4^2 = 17
 17 -> 1^2 + 7^2 = 50
 50 -> 5^2 + 0^2 = 25
 25 -> 2^2 + 5^2 = 29
 29 -> 2^2 + 9^2 = 85
 85 -> 8^2 + 5^2 = 89
 89 -> 8^2 + 9^2 = 145
145 -> 1^3 + 4^3 + 5^3 = 190
190 -> 1^3 + 9^3 + 0^3 = 730
730 -> 7^3 + 3^3 + 0^3 = 370
370 -> 3^3 + 7^3 + 0^3 = 370 (fixed point)

First fixed points:
S = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 14, ...
Any more?

Best,
É.
