COMMENTS

There are several equivalent formulations. Suppose the decimal expansion of n is n = Sum_{i = 0..k } d_i 10^i, where 0 <= d_i <= 9 for i = 0..k.

Then n is skinny if and only if:

(i) e_i = Sum_{ j = 0..i } d_j d_{i-j} <= 9 for i = 0 .. 2k-1;

(ii) if P_n(X) = Sum_{i = 0..k } d_i X^i (so P_n(10) = n) then P_{n^2}(X) = P_n(X)^2;

(iii) R(n^2) = R(n)^2, where R(n) means the digit reversal of n;

(iv) (sum of digits of n)^2 = sum of digits of n^2.

This entry is a merging and reworking of earlier entries from Asher Auel (asher.auel(AT)reed.edu), May 17 2001 and Amarnath Murthy (amarnath_murthy(AT)yahoo.com), Aug 15 2005. Thanks to Andrew Plewe for suggesting that these sequences might be identical.

Also, numbers n in base 10 whose base 10 expansion of n^2 is the same as if n were interpreted in some base b>10 and n^2 also calculated in that base. - Andrew Silberman (sandrew(AT)math.upenn.edu), Oct 30 2006

FORMULA

Further properties of skinny numbers, from David Applegate and N. J. A. Sloane (njas(AT)research.att.com), Jun 14 2007:

The decimal expansion of a skinny number n may contain only 0's, 1's, 2's and 3's.

There may be at most one 3 and if there is a 3 then there can be no 2's. (Hence of course if there are any 2's then there can be no 3's.)

There is no limit to the number of 1's and 2's - consider for example Sum_{i=0..m} 10^{2^i} and 2*Sum_{i=0..m} 10^{2^i}.

These are necessary conditions, but are not sufficient (e.g. 131 is not skinny).

EXAMPLE

12 is a member as 12^2 =144, digit reversal of 144 is 441= 21^2.

13 is a member as 13 squared is 169 and sqrt(961) = 31.

113 is a member as 113^2 = 12769, reversal(12769) = 96721 = 311^2.

(Sum of digits of 13)^2 = 4^2 = 16 and sum of digits of 13^2 = sum of digits of 169 = 16.

10^k is in the sequence for all k >= 0, since reversal((10^k)^2) = 1 = (reversal(10^k))^2. - Ryan Propper (rpropper(AT)stanford.edu), Sep 09 2005

MAPLE

rev:=proc(n) local nn, nnn: nn:=convert(n, base, 10): add(nn[nops(nn)+1-j]*10^(j-1), j=1..nops(nn)) end: a:=proc(n) if sqrt(rev(n^2))=rev(n) then n else fi end: seq(a(n), n=1..1200); - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Mar 31 2007

f := []: for n from 1 to 1000 do if (convert(convert(n, base, 10), `+`))^2 = convert(convert(n^2, base, 10), `+`) then f := [op(f), n] fi; od; f; - Asher Auel
