A107126 Numbers n such that (10^(2n+1)+45*10^n-1)/9 is prime. 1

COMMENTS

n is in the sequence iff the palindromic number 1(n).6.1(n) is prime (dot between numbers means concatenation). If n is in the sequence then n is not of the forms 3m, 6m + 1, 16m + 2, 16m + 5, 22m + 1, 22m + 9, etc. (the proof is easy).

FORMULA

a(n) = (A077787(n)-1)/2.

EXAMPLE

14 is in the sequence because (10^(2*14+1)+45*10^14-1)/9=1(14).6.1(14) = 11111111111111611111111111111 is prime.
