A110409 Number of times repeated reverse concatenation of n followed by n gives a prime, where n == 1,3,7 or 9 (mod 10), or 0 if no such prime exists. 1

COMMENTS

Except for the first term every nonzero term is >1.

The larger numbers are probable primes. - Joshua Zucker (joshua.zucker(AT)stanfordalumni.org), May 10 2006

The sequence probably continues 0 0 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 130 6 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 6 6 0 0 4 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 10 10 34 0 0 0 0 but the 0's in that list that correspond to 103, 107, 113, 119, 133, 143, 157, 169, 187, 203, 209, are not proved (but if there is a term there, it is more than 500). - Joshua Zucker (joshua.zucker(AT)stanfordalumni.org), May 10 2006

Not only must each nonzero term be >1 (to avoid divisibility by 11), it also cannot equal 2 (mod 3) to avoid divisibility by 3. - Joshua Zucker (joshua.zucker(AT)stanfordalumni.org), May 10 2006

EXAMPLE

The term corresponding to 19 is 7, as 7 concatenation of 91 followed by 19 is the least such prime. (9191919191919119 is a prime).
