Formula

a(n) = A028503(n) * (A028503(n) + 2) = A070253(n)^2 - 1 = A070254(n) - 1. - Giovanni Resta, Aug 29 2018

Example

4224 belongs to this sequence as 4225 = 65^2.

Mathematica

palQ[n_] := Block[{d = IntegerDigits[n]}, d == Reverse[d]]; Select[Range[10000]^2 - 1, palQ] (* Giovanni Resta, Aug 29 2018 *)
