Abstract
We prove new results related to the digital reverse of a positive integer in a fixed base . First we show that for , there exists infinitely many primes such that is square-free. Further, we show that for there are infinitely many palindromes (with ) that are cube-free. We also give asymptotic expressions for the counting functions corresponding to these results. The main tools we use are recent bounds from the literature on reversed primes and palindromes in arithmetic progressions.
