COMMENTS
The subset of the first three terms also satisfies the current definition. An alternate definition would be: Periodic points of A003132. - M. F. Hasler, May 24 2009
Following I. Ja. Tanatar (Moscow), one can easily prove that, for a given x, there exists an iteration of the map f(x) given in the definition which reaches 1 or 89. Indeed, it is easy to see that if x has at least 3 digits, then f(x) < x. Therefore there exists an iteration of f with not more than 2 digits. For two-digit numbers the property is verified directly. See Kordemsky. - Vladimir Shevelev, May 06 2013
