A082461 Generalized Smarandache palindromes which are not palindromes: a generalized Smarandache palindrome (GSP) is a number of the form a1a2...anan...a2a1 or a1a2...an-1anan-1...a2a1, where all a1, a2, ..., an are positive integers of various number of digits. 0

COMMENTS

A palindromic number of four digits has the concatenated form: abba, where a is in {1, 2, ..., 9} and b is in {0, 1, 2, ..., 9}. There are 9x10=90 palindromic numbers of four digits. For example, 1551, or 2002 are palindromic (and, of course, GSP too); yet 3753 is not palindromic but it is a GSP for 3753=3(75)3, i.e. of the form ABA; similarly 4646, for it can be organized as (46)(46), i.e. of the form CC. Therefore a SGP, different from a palindromic number, should have the concatenated forms: 1) ABA, where A is in {1, 2, ?, 9} and B is in {00, 01, 02, 03, ?, 99}-{00, 11, 22, 33, ?, 99}; 2) or CC, where C is in {10, 11, 12, ?, 99}-{11, 22, 33, ?, 99}. In the first case, one has 9x(100-10)=9x90=810. In the second case, one has 90-9=81. Total: 810+81=891 GSP numbers of four digits which are not palindromic.

FORMULA

GSP of four digits are concatenated numbers of the forms: A(BC)A, where A is in {1, 2, 3, ..., 9} and both B, C in {0, 1, 2, ..., 9} with B different from C; or (AB)(AB), where A is in {1, 2, 3, ..., 9} and B in {0, 1, 2, ..., 9}, with A different from B.

EXAMPLE

For example:

a) 1235656312 is a Generalized Smarandache Palindrome (GSP) because we can group it as (12)(3)(56)(56)(3)(12), i.e. ABCCBA.

b) Obviously, any palindromic number is a GSP number as well.

c) Of course, any integer can be consider a GSP because we may consider the entire number as equal to a1, which is smarandachely palindromic; say N=176293 is GSP because we may take a1 = 176293 and thus N=a1. But one disregards this trivial case.
