is true for all squares, and hence all fourth powers, and hence this sequence, because digit sum 3 implies divisible by 3, but divisible by 9 would imply digit sum divisible by 9.

Subject: [seqfan] Which palindromes are fourth powers?

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
2011

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

Best regards
Neil
