COMMENTS

Papaya words are concatenations of two palindromes or palindromes themselves. A165136 is the number of papaya patterns for n-digit numbers. Thus a(n) coincides with A165136 for small n, and is greater than A165136 for larger n. The actual number of n-digit papaya numbers is A165135.

The first 19 terms of this sequence are the same as in A165136. A165137(20) = A165136(20)+10. [From Tanya Khovanova (tanyakh(AT)yahoo.com), Oct 01 2009], corrected by Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Apr 10 2011.
