COMMENTS

a(8)=2201 is the only known non-palindromic rootnumber.

There are no further non-palindromic terms (other than 2201) up to 10^11. - Matevz Markovic, Apr 04 2011. There are none up to 10^15, by direct search. - Charles Greathouse, May 16 2011

There are no non-palindromic terms in the range 10^15 to 10^20 with digits from the set {0,1,2}. - Hans Havermann, May 18 2011.

Contribution from Vladimir Shevelev, May 23 2011: (Start)

Using the table by Noe-De Geest, I noticed that all numbers {a(n)=A002780(n);  11<=a(n)<=10^17+10^16+11}, except 2201, allow a partition into 3 disjoint classes of terms of the following forms: 10^k+1, 10^(2*k)+10^k+1, and (10^u+1)*(10^v+1).

Does there exist a term a(n)>10^17+10^16+11 which is in none of these classes?

If there is no such term, then we conclude that the sum of digits of a(n) does not exceed 4 (more exactly, it is i+1 where i is the number of class).

One can prove that the sequence contains no term (other than 2201) with sum of digits = 5. (End)
