a(n) is the smallest number m > n such that m is palindromic in base n and is not palindromic in bases b with 2 <= b < n.

COMMENTS
Index at which first occurrence of n occurs in A016026 when the palindrome is multidigit. Only the first two terms of A016026 are single-digit palindromes. - Robert G. Wilson v, Dec 22 2021

EXAMPLE
From Robert G. Wilson v, Dec 22 2021: (Start)
a(2) = 3 since A016026(3) = 2;
a(3) = 4 since A016026(4) = 3;
a(4) = 25 since A016026(25) = 4; etc. (End)
