Dear Sequence Fans, A056810 gives numbers n such that n^4 is a palindrome.
The initial terms were calculated by Bob Wilson, back in the year 2000.
They are
0, 1, 11, 101, 1001, 10001, 100001, 1000001, 10000001, 100000001
The question is, is every term of the form 10^k+1?
It would be nice to have some more terms - or some theorems.
There is a claim that:

The sequence contains no term with digit sum 3. - Vladimir Shevelev, May 23

but I don't know if this claim (which seems very plausible) has been
checked.

Best regards
Neil
