Abstract
An integer is a -palindrome if it is not a multiple of , nor a decimal palindrome, and such that the sum of the prime factors and corresponding exponents larger than in the prime factorization of is equal to that of the integer formed by reversing the decimal digits of . For example, if we take 198 and its reversal 891, their prime factorizations are and respectively, and summing the numbers appearing in each factorization both give 18. This means that and are -palindromes. We establish a characterization of prime -palindromes: they are precisely the larger of twin prime pairs of the form , and thus standard conjectures on the distribution of twin primes imply that there are only finitely many prime -palindromes.
