The Tribonacci-Lucas sequence $\{S_n\}_{n\ge 0}$ is defined by the linear recurrence relation $S_{n+3} = S_{n+2} + S_{n+1} + S_n$, for $ n\ge 0 $, with the initial conditions $S_0 =S_2= 3$ and $S_1 = 1$. A palindromic number is a number…

Recall that repdigit in base $g$ is a positive integer that has only one digit in its base $g$ expansion, i.e. a number of the form $a(g^m-1)/(g-1)$, for some positive integers $m\geq 1$, $g\geq 2$ and $1\leq a\leq g-1$. In the present…
