Sequences of generalized happy numbers with small bases
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 10 (2007) no. 1
For bases $b \le 5$ and exponents $e \ge 2$, there exist arbitrarily long finite sequences of $d$-consecutive $e$-power $b$-happy numbers for a specific $d = d(e,b)$, which is shown to be minimal possible.
