      On the sum of \(k\)th powers of each digit of an integer (English)
      0 references
      Given a positive integer \(A_0=\sum^t_{i=0} 10^ia_i\), where \(0\leq a_i\leq 9\), let \(A_1=\sum^t_{i=0} a_i^k\). In general, letting \(A_n\) be the sum of the \(k\)th powers of the digits of \(A_{n-1}\), the author proves that the sequence \(\{A_n\}\) must be cyclic from some term on.
