A328933 For any negative number, add the digits (assigning the negative sign just to the first digit), square the result and add it to the original number. This sequence shows negative numbers which give a positive answer. 0

COMMENTS
These numbers are the Zombie Numbers.
Start with any negative (dead) number, add the digits (attaching the negative to the first digit), square the result and add it to the original number. If your answer is positive then you have a 'zombie number' which has 'risen from the dead'.
The list is finite with 26 terms.
Negative integer k such that (digitsum(-k) - 2*(1st digit of -k))^2 > -k. - Stefano Spezia, Nov 01 2019

EXAMPLE
-27 is not a zombie number because -2 + 7 = 5 and -27 + (5)^2 = -2.
-28 is a zombie number because -2 + 8 = 6 and -28 + (6)^2 = 8.
