Abstract

We defined in [3] the perfect r-narcissistic numbers, or rppdi, which are a natural extension of the classic ppdi or Armstrong number of the first kind ([1]). We have shown that the set of these rppdi is finite and we have given the list of the first 15 rppdi greater than 1 in decimal base ([4], [OEIS2]).Let us now consider the ppdi and the rppdi in any base b; we will thus define two distinct families (ppdib, ppdi0) on the one hand and (rppdib, rppdi0) on the other hand, associated with any base b other than the decimal base.We will treat here the cases of bases from 3 to 9 (base 2 only has the trivial solution 1 and base 10 corresponds to the classic ppdi and rppdi) without taking into account the common trivial solution 1.
