[seqfan] Re: A145713 and company

[Robert G. Wilson v]

Dear Douglas, Neil and others,

	Yes the sequences are inconsistent. A145709 should be the template. 
Therefore I suggest that the sequences as follows:

	All of the offsets are 1; no need for an offset of 0 since no additional 
information would be obtained. Also Douglas' terms are correct (up to 10^8) 
but adjusted for the title changes. This should not create a problem because 
these sequences are only referenced by themselves.

Sincerely yours, Bob.


A145709: Number of primes among the first 10^n primes that have most 
significant and least significant decimal digit both equal to 1.
   1,  6,  39,  393,  7737, 103788, 1230898, 13344414, 120133545, 1092391851

A145710: Number of primes among the first 10^n primes that have most 
significant and least significant decimal digit both equal to 3.
   1,  5,  33,  279,  2251,  18840,  162663,  1434000,  12811209,  115798815

A145711: Number of primes among the first 10^n primes that have most 
significant and least significant decimal digit both equal to 7.
   1,  1,  33,  265,  2104,  17892,  155957,  1379176,  12374436,  112213302

A145712: Number of primes among the first 10^n primes that have most 
significant and least significant decimal digit both equal to 9.
   0,  0,   2,  245,  2053,  17518,  153645,  1362970,  12244431,  111153241

A145713: Number of primes among the first 10^n primes that have most 
significant and least significant decimal digit are equal.
   3, 12, 107, 1182, 14145, 158038, 1703163, 17520560, 157563621, 1431557209

	I used the Mathematica coding: f[n_] := Block[{id = IntegerDigits at n}, 
If[id[[1]] == id[[-1]], id[[1]], 0]];
k = n = 1; p = 2; t = {0, 0, 0, 0}; While[n < 9, While[ k < 10^n + 1, 
Switch[ f at p, 1, t[[1]]++, 3, t[[2]]++, 7, t[[3]]++, 9, t[[4]]++]; k++; p = 
NextPrime at p]; Print[{t,Plus@@t}]; n++ ]
