COMMENTS

Although the sequence is infinite, in a sense it cycles. The outside of the next palindrome beginning with 20 continues 31, 40, 51, 60, 71, 80, 91 and back to 20. The inside oscillates between increasing number of zeros and ones.

MATHEMATICA

NextPalindrome[n_] := Block[{l = Floor[Log[10, n] + 1], idn = IntegerDigits[n]}, If[ Union[idn] == {9}, Return[n + 2], If[l < 2, Return[n + 1], If[ FromDigits[ Reverse[ Take[idn, Ceiling[l/2]]]] FromDigits[ Take[idn, -Ceiling[l/2]]], FromDigits[ Join[ Take[idn, Ceiling[l/2]], Reverse[ Take[idn, Floor[l/2]]]]], idfhn = FromDigits[ Take[idn, Ceiling[l/2]]] + 1; idp = FromDigits[ Join[ IntegerDigits[idfhn], Drop[ Reverse[ IntegerDigits[idfhn]], Mod[l, 2]]]]]]]]; a[0] = 0; a[n_] := a[n] = Block[{k = a[n - 1], d = IntegerDigits[a[n - 1]]}, While[ Intersection[d, IntegerDigits[k]] != {}, k = NextPalindrome[k]]; k]; Table[ a[n], {n, 0, 50}]
