COMMENTS

n is in the sequence iff the palindromic number 1(n).3.1(n) is prime (dot between numbers means concatenation). If n is a positive term of the sequence then n is not of the forms 3m, 6m+4, 12m+10, 28m+5, 28m+8, etc. (the proof is easy). 11 divides each palindromic number of the form 1(n).2.1(n) so there is no prime of this form.

FORMULA

a(n) = (A077789(n)-1)/2.

EXAMPLE

19 is in the sequence because the palindromic number (10^(2*19+1)+18*10^19-1)/9 = 1(19).3.1(19) = 111111111111111111131111111111111111111 is prime.
