A107649 Numbers n such that (10^(2n+1)+72*10^n-1)/9 is prime. 44

COMMENTS

n is in the sequence iff the palindromic number 1(n).9.1(n) is prime (dot between numbers means concatenation). If n is in the sequence then n is not of the forms 3m, 6m+5, 22m+3, 22m+7, etc. (the proof is easy).

FORMULA

a(n) = (A077795(n)-1)/2.

EXAMPLE

26 is in the sequence because (10^(2*26+1)+72*10^26-1)/9=1(26).9.1(26)

= 11111111111111111111111111911111111111111111111111111 is prime.
