[seqfan] Re: Two make a palindrome

[Maximilian Hasler]

Rob, Eric, SeqFans,
I propose the sequence as https://oeis.org/draft/A228407 where I added
a link to Rob's post/calculations, and also a list of "records of
minima", i.e., (n,a(n)) where the least missing integers occur. Maybe
these could become sequences on their own (the values and the indices
separately) if further investigations in that sense are to be made.
Regards,
Maximilian
