retain the unmapped input decimal entity in out put XML after transform?

I am not sure I understand what you are asking. Do you have numeric character references in your XML input and want to preserve them? That is not possible with XSLT as the XSLT data model does not know any character references, it operates on a tree model where you only have text nodes with Unicode characters for any text in the XML input.

So unless you use LexEv (http://andrewjwelch.com/lexev/) on your XML input first to convert character and/or entity references to XML elements or attributes your stylesheet can operate on you will not be able to preserve character or entity references.
