%N Squares which can be expressed as the product of a number and its reverse in exactly one way.

%C The first 47 terms of this sequence (from 0 to 58564) are identical to the first 47 terms of A325148. The square 63504 is not present because it can be expressed in two ways: 63504 = 252 * 252 = 144 * 441.

%C There are three families of squares in this sequence:

%C 1) Squares of palindromes in A002113\A117281.

%C 2) Squares of non-palindromes which form the sequence A325151.

%C These squares are a subsequence of A076750.

%C 3) Squares of (m*10^q) with q >= 1 and m palindrome in A002113\A117281.

%H Chai Wah Wu, <a href="/A325149/b325149.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a>

%e For each family:

%e 1) Square of palindromes: 53824 = 232^2 = 232 * 232.

%e 2) Square of non-palindromes m^2 = k*rev(k) with k and rev(k) which have the same number of digits: 162409 = 403^2 = 169 * 961.

%e 3) Square ends with zeros: 48400 = 220^2 = 2200 * 22.

%Y Cf. A325148 (at least one way), A083408 (at least two ways), A325150 (exactly two ways), A307019 (exactly three ways).

%Y Cf. A014186 (squares of palindromes), A076750.
