Comments

A true-palindromic composition or true-palindrome to be a composition whose digit-comma-sequence is the same whether read from left to right or right to left. [Shapcott p. 35]

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..45.

Caroline Shapcott, An introduction to true-palindromic compositions, Australasian Journal of Combinatorics, Volume 60(1) (2014), Pages 35-49.

Formula

Shapcott gives a g.f on p. 3, and 1 should be subtracted to get sequence for n>=1.

Example

(12, 6, 21) is a true-palindromic composition of 39.
(126, 621) is a true-palindromic composition of 747.

Prog

(PARI) rev(n) = Vecrev(n=digits(n)); \\ A004086

radd(n) = fromdigits(Vecrev(digits(n))) + n; \\ A056964
lista(nn) = my(x='x+O('x^(nn))); Vec(sum(k=0, nn, if (ispal(k), x^k))/(1 - sum(k=1, nn, if (k%10, x^radd(k)))) - 1);
