196 is conjectured to be smallest initial term which does not lead to a palindrome. John Walker, Tim Irvin and others have extended this to millions of digits without finding one (see A006960).
Also called Lychrel numbers, though the definition of "Lychrel number" varies: Purists only call the "seeds" or "root numbers" Lychrel; the "related" or "extra" numbers (arising in the former's orbit) have been coined "Kin numbers" by Koji Yamashita. There are only 2 "root" Lychrels below 1000 and 3 more below 10000, cf. A088753. - M. F. Hasler, Dec 04 2007
Question: when do numbers in this sequence start to outnumber numbers that are not in the sequence? - J. Lowell, May 15 2014
Answer: according to Doucette's site, 10-digit numbers have 49.61% of Lychrels. So beyond 10 digits, Lychrels start to outnumber non-Lychrels. - Dmitry Kamenetsky, Oct 12 2015
From the current definition it is unclear whether palindromes are excluded from this sequence, cf. A088753 vs A063048. 9999 would be the first palindromic term that will never result in a palindrome when the Reverse-then-add function A056964 is repeatedly applied. - M. F. Hasler, Apr 13 2019

Examples

			From _M. F. Hasler_, Feb 16 2020: (Start)
Under the "add reverse" operation, we have:
196 (+ 691) -> 887 (+ 788) -> 1675 (+ 5761) -> 7436 (+ 6347) -> 13783 (+ 38731) -> etc. which apparently never leads to a palindrome.
Similar for 295 (+ 592) -> 887, 394 (+ 493) -> 887, 790 (+ 097) -> 887 and 689 (+ 986) -> 1675, which all merge immediately into the above sequence, and also for the reverse of any of the numbers occurring in these sequences: 493, 592, 691, 788, ...
879 (+ 978) -> 1857 -> 9438 -> 17787 -> 96558 is the only other "root" Lychrel below 1000 which yields a sequence distinct from that of 196. (End)
