Narcissistic Number
In
number theory
, anarcissistic number
(also known as a pluperfect digital invariant (PPDI)
, anArmstrong number
or aplus perfect number
) in a given number base b is a number that is the sum of its own digits each raised to the power of the number of digits.
For base b > 1, \(F_{b}(n)=\sum _{i=0}^{k-1}d_{i}^{k}\) where \(k=\lfloor \log _{b}{n}\rfloor +1\) is the number of digits in the number of digits in the number in base b, and \(d_{i}={\frac {n{\bmod {b^{i+1}}}-n{\bmod {b}}^{i}}{b^{i}}}\) is the value of each digit of the number.
A natural number n is a narcissistic number if it is a fixed point of \(F_{b}\) which occurs if \(F_{b}(n)=n\).
For example, 122 in base b = 3 is a narcissistic number, because k = 3, and \(122=1^{3}+2^{3}+2^{3}\)
Sociable Narcissistic Number & Amicable Narcissistic Number
A natural number n is a sociable narcissistic number
if it is a periodic point for
\(F_{b}\), where
\(F_{b}^{p}(n)=n\) for a positive integer p, and forms a cycle of period p. A narcissistic number is a sociable narcissistic number with
\(p = 1\), and a amicable narcissistic number
is a sociable narcissistic number with \(p=2\).
