I just submitted these 3 sequences:

%S A143014 1,3,9,27,189
%N A143014 a(1) = 1. a(n) = the smallest multiple of a(n-1), a(n) > a(n-1), such that a(n) in binary is a palindrome.
%C A143014 All terms are odd.
There are an infinite number of terms. Proof: (2^m + 1)*a(n) is a palindrome, where m is >= the number of binary digits in a(n). So a(n+1) <= (2^m + 1)*a(n).
%Y A143014 A143015,A143016
%O A143014 1
%K A143014 ,base,more,nonn,

%S A143015 1,3,3,3,7
%N A143015 a(1) = 1. a(n) = the smallest integer >=2 such that (product{k=1 to n} a(k)) in binary is a palindrome.
%C A143015 All terms are odd.
There are an infinite number of terms.
%F A143015 For n>=2, a(n) = A143014(n)/A143014(n-1).
%Y A143015 A143014,A143016
%O A143015 1
%K A143015 ,base,more,nonn,

%S A143016 1,11,1001,11011,10111101
%N A143016 a(n) = A143014(n) written in binary.
%C A143016 Each term is a palindrome.
%Y A143016 A143014,A143015
%O A143016 1
%K A143016 ,base,more,nonn,

First, a stupid question. Are all terms of A143015 palindromes in base 2?
(I admit that I haven't thought too hard about this.)

Second, maybe someone would like to calculate and submit similar sequences for other bases.
(A143014's base 10 analog is already in the database: sequence A068664.)

Third, hopefully A143015 isn't already in the database. Is it? (Lots of hits came up for "3,3,3,7", but nothing came up for "3,3,3,7 palindrome" or "3,3,3,7 palindromic".)

Thanks,
Leroy Quet
