On the Density of Happy Numbers
نویسنده
چکیده
The happy function H : N → N sends a positive integer to the sum of the squares of its digits. A number x is said to be happy if the sequence {Hn(x)}∞ n=1 eventually reaches 1 (here H(x) denotes the nth iteration of H on x). A basic open question regarding happy numbers is what bounds on the density can be proved. This paper uses probabilistic methods to reduce this problem to experimentally finding suitably large intervals containing a high (or low) density of happy numbers as a subset. Specifically, we show that d̄ > .18577 and d < .1138, where d̄ and d denote the upper and lower density of happy numbers respectively. We also prove that the asymptotic density does not exist for several generalizations of happy numbers.

A happy number N is defined by the condition S(N ) = 1 for some number n of iterations of the function S, where S(N ) is the sum of the squares of the digits of N . Up to 10, the longest known string of consecutive happy numbers was length five. We find the smallest string of consecutive happy numbers of length 6, 7, 8, . . . , 13. For instance, the smallest string of six consecutive happy numb...
