This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

The length of the cycle in which the trajectory of n will end, is equal to the size of the full orbit of n under A348783, A349250(n), minus a(n).

Examples

			Under iterations of A348783, 0 -> 1 -> 10 -> 11 -> 20 -> 101 -> 21 -> 110 -> 21 -> ..., so the cycle (21, 110) is reached after a(0) = 6 iterations, and also a(1) = 5, a(10) = 4, a(11) = 3, a(20) = 2, a(101) = 1 and a(21) = a(110) = 0 because these two are elements of this cycle.
Similarly, 2 -> 100 -> 12 -> 110 -> 21 -> ..., so the same cycle is reached in a(2) = 3 iterations, and also a(100) = 2, a(12) = 1.
Then, 3 -> 1000 -> 13 -> 1010 -> 22 -> 200 -> 102 -> 111 -> 30 -> 1001 -> 22 -> 200 -> ..., here the cycle (22, 200, 102, 111, 30, 1001) is reached after a(3) = 4 iterations, and a(1000) = 3, a(13) = 2, a(1010) = 1 and a(n) = 0 for the elements of that cycle.

        return orbit.index(fn)
    print([a(n) for n in range(77)]) # Michael S. Branicky, Nov 18 2021

Formula

a(n) = 0 iff n is element of a cycle (or "loop") under iterations of A348783,
otherwise a(n) = 1 + a(A348783(n)).

A349248 Numbers which are elements of a cycle under iterations of the digit-census function A348783.

Next term a(9) > 10^6.
There are no other terms. There are none < 10^10 from computer search and A348783(k) < k for all k >= 10^10. - Michael S. Branicky, Nov 18 2021
