COMMENTS

For n>0, the following mapping leads to a(n): Start with any (n+1)-digit number where the difference between the first and last digits of the number is greater than unity. Rewrite this number with the first and last digits interchanged. Subtract the smaller number from the greater one. Rewrite the result with the first and last digit interchanged. Add these two recent numbers. The result is a(n).

To remark, if you start with a number where the difference between the first and last digits of the number equals unity, the mapping described leads to A086573(n) = 18*A002275(n).

For n>1, the first two digits are always 10, the last two are 89. The number of 9's separating the first two digits from the last two digits is always n-2.

For n>1, this sequence is a subset of A001232.

Alois P. Heinz: this was a dead sequence.  And it should remain dead.  And you are not the author of A039684.   And it was not created on Jun 28 2020.   Many errors here!
