Comments

a(n) is itself prime for n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 11, 12, 22, 26, 27, 30, 31, 32, 34, ... where a(n) = 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 131, 191, 313, 373, 797, 101, 10301, 11311, 12721, 131, 13931, which are also in A002385. Although 979 begins with the prime p(25) = 97, and is a palindrome, it is not in the commented subsequence because 979 = 11 * 89 is semiprime rather than prime.

Formula

a(n) = A082216(A000040(n)).

Example

a(6) = 131 because that is the smallest palindrome beginning (base 10) with p(6) = 13.
