Palindromic sequence — A palindrome is a word that is the same forward as it is backward such as the word racecar , the name Otto , or the saying attributed to Napoleon Able was I ere I saw Elba . Certain sequences of DNA are the same whether they are read 5 (five… … Wikipedia
Palindromic number — A palindromic number or numeral palindrome is a symmetrical number like 16461, that remains the same when its digits are reversed. The term palindromic is derived from palindrome, which refers to a word like rotor that remains unchanged under… … Wikipedia
Palindromic prime — A palindromic prime (sometimes called a palprime) is a prime number that is also a palindromic number. Palindromicity depends on the base of the numbering system and its writing conventions, while primality is independent of such concerns. The… … Wikipedia
Palindromic polynomial — A polynomial is palindromic, if the sequence of its coefficients are a palindrome.Let P(x) = sum {i=0}^n a ix^i be a polynomial of degree n, then P is palindromic if a i = a {n i} for i=0...n.Similarly, P is called antipalindromic if a i = a {n… … Wikipedia

Strictly non-palindromic number — A strictly non palindromic number is an integer n that is not palindromic in any numeral system with a base b in the range 2 le; b le; n − 2. For example, the number six is written as 110 in base 2, 20 in base 3 and 12 in base 4, none of which is … Wikipedia
Padovan sequence — The Padovan sequence is the sequence of integers P ( n ) defined by the initial values :P(0)=P(1)=P(2)=1,and the recurrence relation:P(n)=P(n 2)+P(n 3).The first few values of P ( n ) are:1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 12, 16, 21, 28, 37, 49, 65,… … Wikipedia
