Like Keith numbers but starting from 3*n digits to reach n.
Consider the digits of 3*n. Take their sum and repeat the process deleting the first addend and adding the previous sum. The sequence lists the numbers that after some iterations reach a sum equal to themselves.
EXAMPLE
3*28 = 84:
8 + 4 = 12;
4 + 12 = 16;
12 + 16 = 28.
MAPLE
with(numtheory): P:=proc(q, h, w) local a, b, k, n, t, v; v:=array(1..h);
for n from 1 to q do a:=w*n; b:=ilog10(a)+1; if b>1 then
for k from 1 to b do v[b-k+1]:=(a mod 10); a:=trunc(a/10); od; t:=b+1; v[t]:=add(v[k], k=1..b); while v[t]<n do t:=t+1; v[t]:=add(v[k], k=t-b..t-1); od;
if v[t]=n then print(n); fi; fi; od; end: P(10^6, 1000, 3);
