II) Search for the number or list of sequences that arrive on a perfect number, and on another cycle. This is much more difficult, even impossible, because to enter for example a cycle of length 4, there are 4 possible entry doors and there are many different cycles 4 ! Maybe I will find other things to add to the program when I start to analyze the data very seriously in a few months, when the regina file will have 20 M sequences or more ! But for the moment, this is all I see... Congratulations, once again for the ease of use of this program and for the possibilities it offers !
Those that merge with other sequences are shown in the basic search, but I'm guessing you would like to also filter those (and the others) through the Advanced Function?:
Code:
Enter sequence (##/a/h/p/p##/q/u): 70508
70508 is open ended. It merges with 276.
Enter sequence (##/a/h/p/p##/q/u): 276
276 is open ended. List any sequences that merge with 276? (y/n/c/f): y
. . .

Enter sequence (##/a/h/p/p##/q/u): 3142
3142 ends with the perfect number 496,
Display all sequences that end with 496? (y/n/c/f): y

To perform cycle searches, you need to have wget and an Internet connection to reach factordb:
Code:
Enter sequence (##/a/h/p/p##/q/u): 83076
83076 ends in a cycle. Display cycle? (starts at entry point) (y/n/f): y

But, again, this does not include the Advance filtering, "yet."
