Digital Self Powers

The self-power of a number \(x\) is defined to be \(x^x\). The digital-self-power of a number is defined to be the sum of the self powers of all of its digits (in base 10). For example, the digital-self-power of \(402\) is \(4^4 + 0^0 + 2^2 = 256 + 1 + 4 = 261\).

Part A Find an integer which is one more than its digital-self-power.
Part B Find an integer (greater than 1) which equals its digital-self-power
Part C Find a positive integer which is one less than its digital-self-power
Part C Find a positive integer which is one less than its digital-self-power
Part D Find the largest integer which is at most one away from its digital-self-power
