COMMENTS

The sum using all palindromic numbers <10^8 is 3.37000183240... Extrapolating using Wynn's epsilon method gives a value near 3.37018... - Eric W. Weisstein, May 14 2006

LINKS

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..27.

Eric Weisstein: Palindromic Number.

FORMULA

a(n) = sum(1/p), p is a palindrome.

EXAMPLE

3.37028325949737332049209743...

MATHEMATICA
