A242541 Undulating primes: prime numbers whose digits follow the pattern A, B, A, B, A, B, A, B, ... 5
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 131, 151, 181, 191, 313, 353, 373, 383, 727, 757, 787, 797, 919, 929, 18181, 32323, 35353, 72727, 74747, 78787, 94949, 95959, 1212121, 1616161, 323232323 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; text; internal format)

COMMENTS
All numbers in this sequence with three or more digits must have an odd number of digits. Any number with an even number of digits that follow this pattern is divisible by a number of the form 1010101...1010101 where the number of digits is one less than the number of digits in the original number.
Union of A004022 and A032758. - Arkadiusz Wesolowski, May 17 2014
Because A may equal B, 11 (and other prime repunits) are terms in this sequence (but not of A032758). - Harvey P. Dale, May 26 2015

EXAMPLE
121 = 11*11 is not prime and thus is not a term of this sequence.
MAPLE
select(isprime, [$0..99, seq(seq(seq(a*(10^(d+1)-10^(d+1 mod 2))/99 + b*(10^d - 10^(d mod 2))/99, b=0..9), a=1..9, 2), d=3..9, 2)]); # Robert Israel, Jul 08 2016
