A100563 Number of bases less than sqrt(n) in which n is a palindrome. 1

%I #63 Mar 18 2015 08:49:56

%S 0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,1,1,0,0,1,0,1,1,2,0,0,1,2,0,1,0,1,2,1,1,1,0,2,0,1,1,

%N Number of bases less than sqrt(n) in which n is a palindrome.

%C Is there a number m such that a(n) > 0 for all n > m? I call the set of numbers for which a(n)=0 "unkempt" for refusing to use a mirror in any base. Is there an infinite number of unkempt numbers? a(n) can be arbitrarily large.

%C The sequence A123586 gives the values of n where a(n)=0. - _Robert G. Wilson v_, Nov 01 2014

%C Is there a closed-form formula for this function? - _Robert G. Wilson v_, Nov 01 2014
