Comments

When written in binary, a(n) is the smallest positive integer that is not a palindrome, and that contains the n-th positive binary palindrome as a substring.

a(n) = 2 * A006995(n).

Example

The fifth positive integer that is a palindrome in base 2 is 9, which is 1001 in binary. a(5) therefore equals 18, which is 10010 in binary. 18 is the smallest integer, which when written in binary, it is not a palindrome and it contains 1001 as a substring.
