1523, 1531, 1553, 1559, 1567, 1571.

	Here is a Mathematica program for generating the terms:

okQ[n_]:=Module[{len=IntegerLength[n],idn,idnpwr},idn=IntegerDigits[n];i
dnpwr=IntegerDigits[n^n];Length[Flatten[Select[Partition[idnpwr,len,1],#
==idn&]]]>=len]
Select[Prime[Range[250]], okQ]

	Please feel free to submit the sequence.

	Best,

	Harvey P. Dale

Subject: [seqfan] "What primes P have P^P containing the string 'P' as
substring'?"

JM Bergot asked me in an email: "What primes P have P^P containing the
string 'P' as substring'?"

5^5 = 3125 has "5" as substring.

11^11 = 285311670611 has two substrings of "11"

17^17 = 827240261886336764177  has "17" as 3rd and 2nd digit from
right-hand.

19^19 = 1978419655660313589123979 has a "19" as its left end, and
another later.

31^31 = 17069174130723235958610643029059314756044734431

has a "31" at right-hand end, and a second to the left a ways.

A051674 (n-th prime)^(n-th prime).

Is there a sequence in there, base and prime related, struggling to be
interesting to anyone on seqfans?

Eventually, all P^P are pandigital.  But not "normal." Right?

Best,

Jonathan Vos Post
