COMMENT

Length of transient when the f[n]=Sum[digit^2 of n] function is iterated.

In A031176 including cycle lengths[=c] of this iteration only c=1 and c=8 occur. A007770 lists cases of c=1, the happy numbers.

EXAMPLE

n=99999999999: iteration-list={99999999999,891,146,53,34,25,29,85,89,145,42,20,[4,16,37,58,

89,145,42,20],4,...]}.Lengths of transient=12, of cycle=8.

MATHEMATICA

fu[x_] :=Apply[Plus, IntegerDigits[x]^2]; hs=20; transient lengths are obtained by: a[n_] :=-1+Min[Flatten[Position[NestList[fu, n, Length[Union[NestList[fu, n, hs]]]] -Last[NestList[fu, n, Length[Union[NestList[fu, n, hs]]]]], 0]]], {n, 1, 256}];

EXTENSIONS

Terms checked using the given PARI code. However, according to the domain of A003132 and the definition of A039943 (which both include 0), an initial a(0)=0 should be added here, too. [From M. F. Hasler (MHasler(AT)univ-ag.fr), May 24 2009]
